Abstract

The present disclosure relates to transmitting and receiving beam information in a wireless communication system. An operation of a receiving end includes: generating a signal indicating two or more analogue transmission beams which are allocable to the receiving end; and transmitting the signal. In addition, the present disclosure includes other embodiments different from the embodiment described above.

Claims (40)

1. A method performed by a terminal, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, a broadcast message for indicating a plurality of groups, wherein one of the plurality of groups is associated with one or more transmission beams;

receiving, from the base station, downlink signals of transmission beams; and

transmitting, to the base station, feedback information for indicating a beam group among the plurality of groups based on measurements of the downlink signals,

wherein each beam in the beam group corresponds to a same time-frequency resource,

wherein a channel quality for one or more transmission beams corresponding to the beam group is greater than a threshold for selecting a transmission beam of the beam group, and

wherein the channel quality comprises a received signal strength.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the broadcast message is received based on a network access procedure.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the feedback information indicates the transmission beam of the beam group based on a physical sequence of the feedback information.

4. A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting a broadcast message for indicating a plurality of groups, wherein one of the plurality of groups is associated with one or more transmission beams;

transmitting downlink signals of transmission beams; and

receiving, from a terminal, feedback information for indicating a beam group among the plurality of groups based on measurements of the downlink signals,

wherein each beam in the beam group corresponds to a same time-frequency resource,

wherein a channel quality for one or more transmission beams corresponding to the beam group is greater than a threshold for selecting a transmission beam of the beam group, and

wherein the channel quality comprises a received signal strength.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the broadcast message is transmitted based on a network access procedure.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the feedback information indicates the transmission beam of the beam group based on a physical sequence of the feedback information.

7. A terminal, comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the at least one transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, a broadcast message for indicating a plurality of groups, wherein one of the plurality of groups is associated with one or more transmission beams,

receive, from the base station, downlink signals of transmission beams, and

transmit, to the base station, feedback information for indicating a beam group among the plurality of groups based on measurements of the downlink signals,

wherein each beam in the beam group corresponds to a same time-frequency resource,

wherein a channel quality for one or more transmission beams corresponding to the beam group is greater than a threshold for selecting a transmission beam of the beam group, and

wherein the channel quality comprises a received signal strength.

8. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the broadcast message is received based on a network access procedure.

9. The terminal of claim 7 , wherein the feedback information indicates the transmission beam of the beam group based on a physical sequence of the feedback information.

10. A base station, comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor coupled to the at least one transceiver and configured to:

transmit a broadcast message for indicating a plurality of groups, wherein one of the plurality of groups is associated with one or more transmission beams,

transmit downlink signals of transmission beams, and

receive, from a terminal, feedback information for indicating a beam group among the plurality of groups based on measurements of the downlink signals,

wherein each beam in the beam group corresponds to a same time-frequency resource,

wherein a channel quality for one or more transmission beams corresponding to the beam group is greater than a threshold for selecting a transmission beam of the beam group, and

wherein the channel quality comprises a received signal strength.

11. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the broadcast message is transmitted based on a network access procedure.

12. The base station of claim 10 , wherein the feedback information indicates the transmission beam of the beam group based on a physical sequence of the feedback information.
