Existing wireless communication systems face challenges in efficiently managing user equipment (UE) beams, particularly in identifying optimal slots or symbols for scheduling channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) and measuring spectral efficiency, which affects overall communication performance.
Innovation Solution
The method and apparatus for UE beam management involve identifying a slot or symbol for scheduling a CSI-RS resource, scheduling candidate or serving UE beams, measuring spectral efficiency, and preparing reports on beam characteristics, utilizing a communication manager to facilitate these processes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional beam management methods are used, then system implementation is simpler, but spectral efficiency and communication performance deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by identifying candidate slots or symbols before actual beam scheduling, and by preparing beam reports in advance based on spectral efficiency measurements. This allows the UE to pre-process beam management information, reducing real-time complexity while improving measurement accuracy for spectral efficiency.
2Productivity
If beam scheduling is optimized for better performance, then communication performance improves, but processing time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The UE identifies candidate slots or symbols and prepares beam reports in advance before actual communication scheduling. This preliminary processing allows the system to make faster real-time decisions, reducing beam processing time while maintaining optimized communication performance through pre-evaluated beam candidates.
Solution Approach 2:
The beam management process is segmented into distinct phases: identifying candidate slots/symbols, measuring spectral efficiency, preparing beam reports, and final scheduling. This segmentation allows each phase to be optimized independently, reducing overall processing time while maintaining communication performance.

AI summary
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify a slot or a symbol where a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for a Procedure 2 (P2) resource is to be scheduled. The UE may schedule a candidate UE beam or a serving UE beam for the slot or the symbol. The UE may measure a spectral efficiency associated with the P2 resource. The UE may prepare a report that indicates one or more characteristics of the candidate UE beam or the serving UE beam. Numerous other aspects are described.
