Patent attributes
The present disclosure provides signaling for user equipment (UE) panel identification. The UE may have at least a first panel and a second panel. The UE may receive at least one downlink reference signal from a base station. The UE may determine a first mapping of the at least one downlink reference signal to one or more panel identifiers. The UE may receive a configuration of an uplink reference signal resource. Based on the configuration, the UE may transmit an uplink reference signal using a selected panel, the selected panel being associated with a selected panel identifier. The UE may transmit a report including a second mapping between the selected panel identifier and the uplink reference signal. The UE may receive an uplink grant indicating the selected panel associated with the selected panel identifier. The UE may transmit an uplink data channel using the selected panel.
