Fallback beam selection procedure during failure of beam change instruction reception
In a process of beam change, the base station transmits a beam change instruction to a user equipment (UE) to indicate that the base station will change from a current beam to another beam, but the UE may not successfully receive the beam change instruction. The apparatus may be a base station that is configured to address such issues. The base station determines to change from a first beam to a second beam. The base station transmits, to a UE, a beam change instruction to indicate the determination to change to the second beam upon the determination to change to the second beam. The base station determines whether the UE has received the beam change instruction. The base station selects a third beam to communicate with the UE when the base station determines that the UE has not received the beam change instruction, wherein the third beam is a predefined beam.
