A method for transmitting data is provided. The method includes sending a probing packet using a scanning beam selected from a set of probing beams. The method further includes receiving feedback about the probing packet. The method also includes determining a data transmission beam based on the set of probing beams and the received feedback. The method additionally includes transmitting data using a multi-element antenna that is configured according to the determined data transmission beam.

An operation method of a first device in a communication system may comprise: receiving, at a second device, a primary synchronization signal block (SSB) including first SSBs for the first device; feeding back to the second device an index of a first SSB with a highest received signal strength among the first SSBs of the first SSB set; receiving, at the second device, a second SSB set including the first SSBs for the first device and second SSBs for a third device; transmitting to the third device the second SSBs for the third device in the second SSB set; and forwarding an index of a second SSB with a highest received signal strength among the second SSBs to the second device, the index being received from the third device.

A method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE) includes determining a first synchronization signal block (SSB) to monitor beam management. The first SSB comprises a primary synchronization signal (PSS), multiple physical broadcast channels (PBCHs), and a secondary synchronization signal (SSS). The method also includes determining a list of receive beams for measuring the first SSB. The method further includes measuring the first SSB by measuring the PSS with a first beam from the list of receive beams, measuring, with a second beam from the list of receive beams, a first demodulation reference signal (DMRS) on a first PBCH symbol of a first of the PBCHs, measuring the SSS with a third beam from the list of receive beams; and measuring, with a fourth beam from the list of receive beams, a second DMRS on a second PBCH symbol of a second of the PBCHs.

A first wireless device may select a first beam for communication with a second wireless device from a first set of beams associated with a first beam level. A second set of beams may be associated with a second beam level. The first beam may be associated with a first children list. The first children list may be associated with a first subset of beams of the second set of beams. Each beam in the first subset of beams may have an envelope area that intersects an envelope area of the first beam. The first wireless device may select a second beam for communication with the second wireless device from the first subset of beams based on an envelope area of the second beam intersecting the envelope area of the first beam. The first wireless device may communicate with the second wireless device.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of path loss compensation values corresponding to the reference signal indices. The UE may measure resources associated with the reference signal indices to generate path loss measurements. The UE may transmit a sounding reference signal using a transmission power based on the path loss measurements and the path loss compensation values.

A base station may establish a cellular link with a user equipment (UE) according to a single frequency network scheme. The base station may then determine one or more control resource set (CORESET) transmission configuration indication (TCI) states and transmit signaling to configure the UE with the one or more CORESET TCI states. Additionally or alternatively, the one or more CORESET TCI states may be useable by the UE in performing communications with at least one of a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second TRP associated with the cellular link with the cellular network.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for wireless communication by a network entity. The network entity determines a distance between the network entity and a user equipment (UE). The network entity determines a number of beams for beamforming and a beam refinement procedure, based on the distance between the network entity and the UE. The network entity transmits a number of reference signals (RSs), using the determined number of beams.

Methods and apparatuses in a wireless communication system. A method of operating a BS includes: receiving a first measurement report indicating information about at least first and second wide beams in a set of wide beams for a beam selection, the first measurement report generated based on measurement of a first set of child narrow beams of the first wide beam; determining whether a condition is detected for requesting measurement of a second set of child narrow beams of a second wide beam in the set of wide beams; determining to request the UE to measure the second set of child narrow beams of the second wide beam and; selecting a child narrow beam for use from one of the first set of child narrow beams and the second set of child narrow beams; and selecting the child narrow beam for use from the first set of child narrow beams.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media herein dynamically modify the beam patterns used by an antenna array to communicate with user devices in a sector. A set of metrics are monitored and used to generate time-averaged beam quality values for a default beam pattern and then compared to a time-averaged beam quality of a subset of beams within the default beam pattern. If the time-averaged beam quality for the subset of beams exceeds a percentage of the time-averaged beam quality of the default beam pattern, the antenna array is re-assigned to communicate via a second beam pattern.

Disclosed in the present disclosure are a data transmission time domain parameter indication method, a user equipment (UE), and a base station, comprising: indicating, by means of indication information carried in downlink control information (DCI), whether scheduling data of the UE comprises a beam switching time interval GAP, or making an agreement with the UE to determine, by means of a scheduling condition, whether the scheduling data comprises the GAP; when it is determined that the GAP is comprised, determining the GAP according to a UE switching capability parameter agreed upon by an interface protocol; and transmitting the scheduling data on a beam after the GAP. By using the method provided in the present disclosure, in high-frequency scheduling design, the effect on the protocol can be reduced, and the implementation complexity of the UE and the base station can be reduced.
