Signaling of default and scheduled beam in cot
Improved signaling of default and scheduled beams in a Channel Occupancy Time (COT) are provided through a base station that indicates a default or scheduled reception (Rx) or transmission (Tx) beam to a UE for use in the COT. As a result, the base station allows the UE to identify its default or scheduled Rx or Tx beam for its scheduled data at earliest at the beginning of the COT, without having to derive the beam from the QCL of the lowest CORESET ID in a dynamically indicated DCI of the latest monitored slot. The UE can thus more rapidly realize the default or scheduled Rx and/or Tx beam in high unlicensed bands (e.g. 60 GHz) and subsequently communicate with the base station in one or more COTs or a portion of a COT using the default or scheduled Rx or Tx beam.
TECHNIQUES FOR ADAPTIVE BEAM LEVEL SELECTION
Techniques and devices for wireless communication are described. A communication device may identify a set of beam level selection parameters. The set of beam level selection parameters may include traffic information, channel information, application information, or any combination thereof. The communication device may select, based on the identified set of beam level selection parameters, a beam level, from a set of beam levels, different from a baseline beam level associated with the wireless communication. The selected beam level may be associated with a number of antenna elements different from a number of antenna elements associated with the baseline beam level. The communication device may perform the wireless communication based on the selected beam level.
