Title: Improvements in and relating to beam management in a telecommunication system
Inventor: SHANGBIN WU
IPC: H04W76/10
Filed: 2018-07-20
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of beam management in a telecommunication system comprising a User Equipment (UE) 110, and a transception point (TRP) 120. The TRP provides the UE with details of candidate beams, arranged in one or more sets of quasi-co-­located (QCL), beams. The UE periodically performs measurements of the candidate beams. The UE senses likely failure of a current beam and triggers a link recovery procedure whereby the UE signals the TRP with details of the best of the candidate beams and the bestof the sets. The TRP messages, via backhaul, a relay TRP (rTRP), associated with the best of the candidate beams or the best of the sets. The UE monitors a control resource set, (CORESET), and then establishes communication with the relay TRP. The method seeks to improve beam failure recovery in a multi-TRP network environment.
