Abstract: Method and apparatus for an enhanced beam refinement procedure in a multi-cell scenario. The apparatus receives a beam refinement configuration indicating beam measurement is restricted to a serving cell and excluded for a neighbor cell. The apparatus measures an SSB of the serving cell by sweeping multiple beams restricted based on the beam refinement configuration. Measurement of a concurrent SSB of the neighbor cell is excluded in the sweeping of the multiple beams. The apparatus identifies a refined beam for the serving cell based on the sweeping of the multiple beams.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for scheduling component carriers and one or more operations on a per NB RF chain basis. A method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes monitoring occurrences of a first number of operations to be performed for a plurality of component carriers (CCs) according to different periodicities, determining a second number of available narrow band (NB) radio frequency (RF) chains, and scheduling, on the available NB RF chains, up to the second number of the operations to be performed for the plurality of CCs based on a scheduling algorithm if the first number is greater than the second number.

Abstract: A wireless communication device can expedite beam scans for beam management. The wireless communication device can perform a beam scan using a first beam reference signal of a synchronization signal block (SSB) and a second beam reference signal associated with a physical broadcast control channel (PBCH) of the SSB. For each synchronization signal block (SSB) index (e.g., transmit beam) monitored by the wireless communication device, the wireless communication device can obtain a respective beam quality metric on each of two or more respective receive beams using at least the first and second beam reference signals. Other aspects, features, and embodiments are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a monitoring signal associated with one or more antennas. The UE may identify, based at least in part on the monitoring signal, a blockage associated with the one or more antennas. The UE may perform a beam search using a decreased frequency of occurrence of tracking occasions for the one or more antennas based at least in part on the identification of the blockage associated with the one or more antennas. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The method, systems, and devices may include techniques for establishing a first connection with a first cell operating in accordance with a first radio access technology (RAT), and performing a beam sweep procedure for one or more candidate beams for adding or handover to a second cell operating in accordance with millimeter wave (mmW) RAT. The beam sweep procedure may be performed based on previous beam measurements stored in a measurement database. The techniques may further include selecting a beam from the one or more candidate beams for adding or handover to the second cell based on the beam sweep procedure, and adding or handing over to the second cell by establishing a second connection with the second cell using the selected beam.

Abstract: The choice of a transmit (Tx)-Receive (Rx) beam pair out of many available beam pairs between a base station and a millimeter wave (mmW)-capable UE is directly related to the performance of transmission between the base station and the UE. A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium at a transmitting user equipment (UE) capable of (mmW) communication are disclosed to determine a new serving Tx-Rx beam pair using an artificial neural network. The UE may predict a set of good Tx-Rx beam pairs using the artificial neural network, wherein the artificial neural network comprises an input layer, a middle layer, and an output layer. The UE may then determine the new serving Tx-Rx beam pair based on the set of good Tx-Rx beam pairs.

Abstract: The choice of a transmit (Tx)-Receive (Rx) beam pair out of many available beam pairs between a base station and a millimeter wave (mmW)-capable UE is directly related to the performance of transmission between the base station and the UE. A method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium at a transmitting user equipment (UE) capable of (mmW) communication are disclosed to determine a new serving Tx-Rx beam pair based on cumulative strengths of a plurality of Tx-Rx beam pairs. The UE may iteratively perform a process of, until a predetermined number of synchronization cycles is reached: selecting one of the plurality of Transmit (Tx)-Receive (Rx) beam pairs based at least in part on a scheduling opportunity value of the selected Tx-Rx beam pair that has not been measured for a current synchronization period; and measuring a strength of the selected Tx-Rx beam pair.

Abstract: A UE may identify a channel correlation matrix for a channel between the UE and a network node. The UE may identify whether the channel is associated with an LOS condition based on the channel correlation matrix. The UE may obtain a plurality of eigenvalues of the channel correlation matrix based on an eigen decomposition operation on the channel correlation matrix. The UE may identify whether the channel is associated with the LOS condition based on the plurality of eigenvalues of the channel correlation matrix. The UE may identify that the channel is associated with the LOS condition if a difference between a greatest eigenvalue in the plurality of eigenvalues and an average of other eigenvalues in the plurality of eigenvalues is greater than a threshold. Otherwise, the UE may identify that the channel is not associated with the LOS condition.
