Abstract

Selon l'invention, un système de communication sans fil peut utiliser une technique de signal de référence de sondage (SRS) bi-mode pour améliorer à la fois le suivi de faisceau et des mesures de canal de liaison montante. Un nœud B évolué (eNB) peut émettre des signaux de commande dirigeant un équipement utilisateur (UE) à émettre soit un premier type de SRS, soit un second type de SRS. L'UE peut émettre un premier SRS du premier type sur un faisceau omnidirectionnel et émettre un second SRS du second type sur un faisceau directionnel, sur la base des signaux de commande. L'UE peut également utiliser le premier SRS pour des calculs de formation de faisceau, utiliser le second SRS pour des mesures de canal de liaison montante et transmettre des données sur un canal partagé de liaison montante physique (PUSCH), sur la base des calculs et des mesures.
