asymmetric directed capacity methods for beam tracking in mm-wave access systems

摘要

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for operating a user equipment (EU) is provided. the apparatus establishes a wireless communication link with a millimeter-wave base station (mmw-bs) based on a transmit beam from mmw-bs, the transmit beam having a transmit beam direction receives information from beamforming capability indicating one of at least one digital, analog, or hybrid beamforming capability associated with mmw-bs, and scans n mmw-bs transmission beams for each of m beam directions. reception of the eu based on the beaming capability information and transmission beam associated with the wireless communication link.
