Beam selection in millimeter wave systems
A beam selection method and apparatus suitable for millimeter wave (mmW) communication systems is disclosed. In one aspect, a user equipment (UE) may perform a beam sweep procedure to identify suitable downlink beams candidates from one or more gNBs. The UE may generate a beam list by selecting some of the downlink beams for active tracking. When beams on the beam list become unavailable, the UE may compare the number of available beams on the beam list with a threshold value. If the number of available beams falls below the threshold, the UE may perform another beam sweep procedure.
