Facilitating multi-panel UE operation with different panel capabilities

Abstract

To provide beamforming procedures appropriate even for UE panels having different beamforming capabilities.SOLUTION: User equipment (UE) 106 in a wireless communications system 100 includes a plurality of antenna panels 1062, 1064, and 1068 and transmits a first capability set to a next generation node B (gNB) 102 included in the wireless communications system. The first capability set includes a plurality of capability information items indexed, respectively, by a plurality of corresponding capability indices, and each capability information item indicates for a panel corresponding to the capability information item from among the plurality of antenna panels, capability information of the corresponding panel with respect to the first functionality.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
