Patent ID: 11418973

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may utilize synchronization signal block (SSB) and channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) based beam management to select beams for communicating with a base station. For example, a UE may receive, from a base station, control signaling that configures the UE to monitor a set of SSBs and a set of reference signals. The UE may select a subset of the set of SSBs based on measuring a first signal metric for each SSB of the set of SSBs. In some examples, the UE may select a reference signal subset of the set of reference signals that correspond to the subset of the set SSBs, and may communicate a data transmission with the base station using a first beam selected based on measuring a second signal metric for each reference signal in the reference signal subset.
