SIGNAL BLOCKAGE MITIGATION TECHNIQUES IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described for mitigation of blockages in wireless signals between wireless devices. A UE may detect that a blockage is present (e.g., a hand blockage), such as by detecting that a received signal strength from a transmitting device (e.g., a base station or access network entity) has dropped by greater than a threshold value. Based on the blockage detection, the UE may measure an amplitude of one or more reference signals at one or more antenna elements of multiple antenna elements. The UE may also measure one or more reference signals for one or more phase shifter values that are applied to the multiple antenna elements. The UE may determine a set of amplitude weightings, and a set of phase weightings, for the multiple antenna elements based on the measuring, and apply the sets of weightings for communications with the transmitting device.
