Abstract:
Sensor assisted beam management system and methods for mobile User Equipment (UEs) are disclosed. An embedded rotation sensor may be used to determine orientation, rotating direction and angular speed of the UE. A speed sensor and GPS may also be used to determine location, moving direction and speed of the UE. The sensor outputs may be used by the UE to efficiently select UE beams after movement or to predict when a UE beam should be updated. Beam search and measurement periodicities may also be updated based on UE movements reported by the sensors.
