Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may determine a best beam for communications with a wireless device using a beam selection procedure and beam selection algorithm based on measurements of one or more beam selection parameters for different layers of beams. For example, the first wireless device may measure a beam selection parameter to select a first layer beam and then may measure the beam selection parameter for one or more second layer beams corresponding to the first layer beam. Based on the beam selection parameter measurements, the first wireless device may determine to backtrack and select a different first layer beam to continue the beam selection procedure. Additionally, the first wireless device may apply dithering to the initially selected first layer beam to decrease chances the initially selected first layer beam is selected again.

Abstract: Provided is a temperature measurement circuit. The temperature measurement circuit includes a comparator (31), a first voltage generation circuit (32), and a second voltage generation circuit (33). Inputs of the comparator (31) are connected to a voltage output of the first voltage generation circuit (32) and a voltage output of the second voltage generation circuit (33), respectively, to obtain a reference voltage and a comparison voltage. A comparison result is outputted, and an ambient temperature is determined based on the comparison result. The second voltage generation circuit (33) includes a current generation circuit (331) configured to generate a current signal correlated to the ambient temperature, and a current-to-voltage conversion circuit (332) configured to convert the current signal into the comparison voltage. In this way, through characterizing the ambient temperature with the current signal correlated to the ambient temperature, a temperature measurement result can be obtained by sampling and processing the current signal. A large number of capacitors, which is required during the sampling and processing of the current signal in an existing temperature measurement circuit, can be omitted, and thus an area of the temperature measurement circuit can be effectively reduced.
