ASSISTED BEAM MANAGEMENT BETWEEN FREQUENCY BANDS

Abstract:

Aspects relate to assisted beam management between frequency bands that each utilize spatially directional beams. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive a plurality of first transmit beams on each of a plurality of first receive beams within a first frequency band to select at least one first beam pair link in the first frequency band. The UE may then receive a plurality of second transmit beams on each of a plurality of second receive beams within a second frequency band different than the first frequency band to select a second beam pair link in the second frequency band on which to communicate with a transmission and reception point. Each of the second transmit or receive beams has a respective spatial direction within a spatial direction of at least one of the first transmit or receive beams of the first beam pair links.
