Wireless Beam Management Using Pre-Configured QCL References

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring a list of candidate beams and their associated reference signals before actual communication begins. The WTRU stores this beam configuration information in advance, so when beam selection is needed, the device can quickly retrieve and evaluate pre-prepared beam options rather than performing complex beam analysis in real-time. This reduces the computational burden during active communication while maintaining reliable beam selection.

The patent implements dynamics by enabling the beam selection process to adapt to changing communication conditions. The WTRU can dynamically switch between different beam selection methods based on current requirements - using simplified beam determination when conditions permit and switching to more comprehensive beam evaluation when reliability is critical. This dynamic adjustment allows the system to balance between processing complexity and communication reliability based on actual operational needs.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring beam information and reference signals before actual communication begins. The WTRU stores beam configuration data in advance, enabling rapid retrieval and evaluation during real-time communication. This eliminates the need for time-consuming beam analysis during active transmission, significantly reducing processing latency while maintaining high communication quality through thorough beam selection.

The patent implements segmentation by dividing the beam selection process into distinct phases: a preliminary configuration phase where beam options are pre-established, and an execution phase where pre-selected beams are rapidly applied. This temporal segmentation allows complex beam evaluation to be performed offline during configuration, while real-time communication benefits from the pre-computed beam decisions, effectively separating computation-intensive tasks from time-critical operations.

The patent applies preliminary action by establishing a comprehensive beam configuration database in advance, where multiple candidate beams and their reference signals are pre-defined and stored. During actual communication, the WTRU simply retrieves the appropriate pre-configured beam information rather than performing complex configuration procedures. This approach maintains the ability to evaluate multiple beams for high reliability while significantly simplifying the operational configuration process.

The patent implements copying by creating replicated beam configuration data that can be efficiently retrieved and applied. Instead of maintaining complex, unique configuration parameters for each beam, the system uses standardized beam templates and reference signal patterns that can be copied and instantiated as needed. This copying mechanism allows the system to support multiple beam configurations for reliability while reducing the complexity of managing diverse configuration parameters.
