Abstract
A user equipment, a method, and computer-readable media. The UE, which includes a transceiver with a plurality of antenna panels, is configured to determine a link quality of a serving antenna panel. If the link quality of the serving panel is below a quality threshold, resources are allocated from the serving antenna panel to another antenna panel during a sweeping period to identify one or more beams of a target antenna panel for resuming communications. Measurements for a set of beams of the other antenna panel are obtained, during the sweeping period, with the allocated resources. The other antenna panel can be determined to be the target antenna panel based on the obtained measurements. The UE can switch from the serving antenna panel to the target antenna panel, select the one or more beams based on the obtained measurements, and resume the communications on the selected one or more beams.
