Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for beam selection for communication with a Transmit/Receive Point (TRP) are provided. In some embodiments, a method performed by a wireless device for beam selection for communication with a TRP includes: determining how the TRP changes a polarization state for a series of Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) bursts; sweeping through candidate Receive (RX) beams during SSB reception using an order based on how the TRP changes the polarization state; and combining channel measurements from sweeping through the candidate RX beams to determine a target RX beam of the candidate RX beams. In this way, wireless device beam selection can be improved which will improve Downlink (DL) performance. In case the wireless device has beam correspondence, the wireless device RX beam is also likely to be used as the Uplink (UL) Transmit (TX) beam, and in that case UL performance will also be improved.
