BEAM SELECTION USING A WINDOW FOR PRECODING

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform a digital simulation to determining a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) associated with a digital reception beam. A base station may send, to the UE, a reference signal, and the UE may generate digital sector beams spanning a set of oversampled digital reception beams. The digital sector beams may be generated based on the number of antennas of the UE and a Kaiser Window configuration. The UE may perform a coarse beam search procedure on the reference signal using the set of digital sector beams and select a digital sector beam for a refined beam search used to determine a PMI for reporting to the base station.
