BEAM MANAGEMENT IN DISCONNECTED MODE

Abstract:

A method of operating a wireless communication device (90) includes monitoring for signals from a communications network (100, 101, 109) in a connected mode (301) of the wireless communication device (90) with a receive beam configuration (401). The method also includes storing the receive beam configuration (401) and monitoring for further signals (4003-4005) from the communications network (100, 101, 109) in a disconnected mode (302, 303) of the wireless communication device (90) with the stored receive beam configuration (401).
