Methods for beam recovery in millimeter wave systems

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for signaling information regarding beams used for data and control transmissions to a UE. For example, a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), may generally include signaling information to a base station (BS) that the UE is seeking recovery of a beamformed link between the BS and the UE, and participating in recovery of the beamformed link in accordance with the information. A method for wireless communications by a base station (BS), may generally include receiving information from a user equipment (UE) that the UE is seeking recovery of a beamformed link between the BS and the UE, and participating in recovery of the beamformed link in accordance with the information.
