COOPERATIVE TECHNIQUES BETWEEN LOWER-FREQUENCY CARRIERS AND MILLIMETER-WAVE CHANNELS FOR DISCOVERY AND SYNCHRONIZATION AND BEAMFORMING

摘要

Methods, apparatus and computer program products for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus includes means for receiving first information from a base station and for determining, based on the first information, the location of the resources for receiving the transmitted signal from the access point and for transmitting the signal via at least one beam receiving direction Determines a beam transmission direction of the connection point and a beam reception direction of the UE based on the signal, identifies a beam reception direction of the connection point based on the beam transmission direction of the connection point, The second information may comprise an intention to establish a millimeter wave (mmW) link with the access point, a beam reception direction of the UE and / or a beam transmission direction of the access point have.
