Abstract:
A method of group-based beam reporting is proposed. The BS TX beams are grouped into groups to increase beam reporting efficiency. After measuring reference signals for beam management, UE reports RS quality to the network in beam groups. The beam grouping can be done either implicitly or explicitly. The grouping within the beam report is done by the UE with or without help from the network. According to principles of grouping mechanism, the grouping methods can be divided into two different categories. A first category is referred to as beam set based group, where UE groups TX beam information in a beam report based on its RX beam set(s). A second category is referred to as antenna group-based grouping, where UE groups TX beam information in a beam report based on UE antenna group.

Claim (Index 12):
A user equipment (UE), comprising:\n a radio frequency (RF) receiver that receives reference signals over a plurality of TX beams from a base station in a beamforming wireless communication network, wherein each TX beam has a TX beam identifier; a beam monitoring circuit that performs measurements over the plurality of TX beams and determining a corresponding beam value metric; a beam grouping circuit that groups the plurality of TX beams into multiple beam groups, wherein the grouping is determined based on an association between each TX beam and a number of UE receive panels or UE antenna subarrays; and a beam feedback circuit that reports the beam value metrics of the plurality of TX beams in an order associated with each beam group.
