Abstract:
A method is provided for beam management. The method includes obtaining, by a Light Detection and Radar (LiDAR) sensor having one or more LiDAR cameras performing ray-tracing, out-of-band infrared measurements of a surrounding environment. The method further includes selecting, by a base station, a transmission and reception beam pair for use in the surrounding environment from a plurality of available transmission and reception beam pairs responsive to the out-of-band measurements of the surrounding environment.
