Patent attributes
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for efficiently selecting beams for synchronization signal block (SSB) burst transmissions based on a condition. Techniques include selecting certain directions to transmit higher power beams and selecting certain directions to transmit lower power SSB burst transmissions. In some cases, an SSB burst parameter may be modified to use a reduced number of optimal SSB beams. The modified SSB burst parameter may have a reduced SSB burst duration, which may allow for reduced monitoring time by a UE and/or free up resources (that would otherwise be used for SSB transmissions) for data transmissions. Additional aspects relate generally to the beam management procedures in wireless communications systems. Some aspects more specifically relate to the selection of beams for communications to and from a UE and a network entity based on predicted mobility state information for a user equipment (UE).
