    摘要: Improved techniques of beam management in a HO situation include receiving, at a source node from a candidate target node after receiving a measurement report from a UE prior to completion of a HO, a repetition configuration of a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resource index to be used by the UE for random access. When beam refinement occurs during HO, a candidate target cell for HO provides the UE with a repetition configuration of CSI-RS resource index that will be selected and used by the UE for random access to the target cell. When beam refinement occurs before HO, the candidate target cell of handover provides the UE (e.g. during the handover preparation phase in case of conditional HO (CHO)) with the repetition configuration of CSI-RS resource index (or indices) whose transmission(s) is repeated while the UE is served by the source cell and before executing a handover.

    摘要: A communication apparatus (101, 1500) comprising a plurality of antenna panels (1513a, 1513b, 1513c, 1513d) is described. The apparatus comprises means for determining (302) whether a chained network deployment of cells (103-108) exists along a path (102) of said apparatus; means for selecting (304), in case said determination is positive, a neighbor cell (104) expected along said path; means for selecting (305), in case said determination is positive, an antenna panel of said plurality of antenna panels as a function of an information representative of a direction of motion of said communication apparatus along said path; and means for detecting (306) said expected neighbor cell using said antenna panel.
    Methods and base stations are also described.

    摘要: Example embodiments may relate to an apparatus, method and/or computer program for managing timing advance loops. The method may comprise receiving, at a user equipment from a plurality of network nodes, respective downlink reference signals, wherein an antenna system of the user equipment receives the downlink reference signals using a wide beam configuration. The method may also comprise performing measurements on the received downlink reference signals to determine a parameter and for determining that the parameter does not meet a predetermined criteria. Based on the parameter not meeting the predetermined criteria, the method may comprise configuring the antenna system such that at least one of the downlink reference signals is received using a narrow beam configuration. The method may involve re-performing the measurements on downlink reference signals from the plurality of network nodes. Based on the parameter meeting the predetermined criteria, it may be determined that transmission of candidate uplink signals, from the user equipment to the at least one of the plurality of network nodes, can be grouped into one timing advance loop.

    摘要: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for radio channel pattern matching. One method may include receiving, at an antenna panel, at least two configured transmission configuration indicator states for simultaneous multiple input multiple output reception; for each of the at least two configured transmission configuration indicator states for simultaneous reception from one or more transmission reception points, sweeping at least one narrow beam receiving one or more repeated reference signals received from the one or more transmission reception points; and, based upon at least one spatial radio multipath channel characteristic of the one or more repeated reference signals carrying each transmission configuration indicator state, selecting at least one antenna element of the antenna panel to form a group of antenna elements and control the group of antenna elements to direct at least one beam.
