Abstract:
Techniques discussed herein can facilitate maintenance and/or recovery of BPL(s) (Beam Pair Link(s)). Various embodiments can employ aspects discussed herein can one or more of enable interference randomization for beam/link recovery signal(s) or reduce the overhead of UL (Uplink) beam management RS (Reference Signal(s)). Various embodiments can comprise UE(s) (User Equipment(s)) that can receive configuration signaling configuring the UE(s) to one or more of apply interference randomization to a beam/link recovery signal and/or generate a SR (Scheduling Request) channel for beam maintenance having reduced overhead and can transmit the beam/link recovery signal and/or SR channel. Additional embodiments can comprise gNB(s) (next Generation NodeB(s)) that can configure UE(s) for beam maintenance and/or recovery techniques discussed herein.
