A method of beam-based communication amongst a plurality of network nodes comprises detecting, by a subject node, a presence of a first set of nodes for beam-based communication, and receiving a list of a second set of nodes from at least a first node of the first set of nodes. Further, the method includes identifying at least a second node in the second set of nodes that is not detectable for beam-based communication by the subject node. The method comprises generating a distance-based mapping including distance information relating to the first set of nodes and the second node, from the subject node. Further, the method comprises transmitting, via beam-based communication by the subject node, content to a destination node based on a communication path determined using the distance-based mapping, the destination node being a node of one of the first set of nodes and the at least second node.

Beam-based communication in network nodes

A method is provided. The method includes receiving, by a User Equipment (UE), a plurality of transmit (Tx) beams from a Base Station (BS), on a plurality of receive (Rx) beams. The method includes determining the beam parameters associated with a plurality of Tx and Rx beam pairs changing at a frequency above a first threshold. The method includes deriving a beam selection metric for the plurality of Tx and Rx beam pairs using the associated beam parameters. The method includes identifying a subset of Tx and Rx beam pairs from the plurality of Tx and Rx beam pairs with the beam selection metric above a second threshold. The method includes prioritizing scanning of the identified subset of Tx and Rx beam pairs to select a Tx and Rx beam pair for communication.

Method and apparatus for selecting beam pairs in a beamforming based communication system

Methods and systems for reporting CSI and selecting optimal beams using ML. The CSI report is sent to a gNB, which includes feedback parameters, computed and predicted using ML. The feedback parameters are computed using measurements performed using CSI-RS. Values of the feedback parameters likely at future, based on channel variation and the measurements, are pre-dieted using ML. The computed and predicted feedback parameters are included in the CSI report. Optimal CSI-RS resource allocation and optimal CSI reporting periodicity are determined using ML and sent to the gNB. The CSI report is encoded using the ML based model. The RSRP of the beams are predicted using ML for beam selection.
