Abstract:
Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for optimizing identification of a beam in a massive multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) system. The receiver device can select a beam to use for a transmission, and generate channel state information based on a selection of either a single stage beam selection process or a two stage beam selection process. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the receiver can select which beam selection process to use based on the context of the receiver device. The receiver can select which beam selection process to use based on the long term signal to noise ratio, or the correlation metrics associated with the receiver and transmitter, or based on the path loss between the transmitter and receiver, or based on the location of the receiver relative to the transmitter.

Claim (Index 1):
A user equipment device, comprising:\n a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:\n determining a signal strength of a reference signal over a determined period of time received from a base station device; \n in response to the signal strength being below a defined threshold, selecting a beam according to a two stage beam selection protocol; \n in response to the signal strength being above the defined threshold, selecting the beam according to a single stage beam selection protocol; and \n transmitting channel state information associated with the beam to the base station device via an uplink control channel.
