Abstract

A method for communication beam transition in a communication system includes exchanging information between a first communication device and a second communication device on a first communication beam, receiving beam information from the second communication device on the first communication beam, sending from the first communication device a beam switch command on the first communication beam, the beam switch command requesting a transition from the first communication beam to a second communication beam, simultaneously sending information from the first communication device to the second communication device on the first communication beam and the second communication beam, and ceasing sending information from the first communication device to the second communication device on the first communication beam when transition to the second communication beam is completed by the first communication device and the second communication device.
