Patent ID: 11968547
Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 7:
8. A Transmission/Reception Point (TRP) in a wireless communication network, wherein the TRP transmits a plurality of beams, the TRP comprising:
communication circuitry configured for wireless communication with wireless communication devices, or configured for inter-nodal communication with another network node in the network that is configured for wireless communication with wireless communication devices; and
processing circuitry operatively associated with the communication circuitry and configured to:
transmit a plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) or downlink reference signals indicating beams for a random access response (RAR) for a wireless communication device;
determine a directional reception scanning ability of a wireless communication device, according to a capability indication signaled by the device; and
configure a network transmission for the device, in dependence on the directional reception scanning ability of the device,

wherein configuring the network transmission for the device comprises selecting a transmission beam sweeping configuration, including one or more of:
selecting the TRP transmitting the SSBs or downlink reference signals; and
selecting a TRP and/or a beam that is different from a TRP that is associated with the SSBs or downlink reference signals.
