TECHNIQUES FOR USING SENSOR INFORMATION FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Last updated:

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, via a sensor included within the UE, information associated with a base station. For instance, the UE may receive, via a camera included within the UE, an image of the base station. In some cases, the information associated with the base station may also include environment information identifying an antenna of the base station. The UE may then perform, based on the received information, a beam management procedure to track a UE beam corresponding to a base station beam, and communicate with the base station based on the beam management procedure.
