Understanding 5G Beam Management

With 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) enabling directional communication with a larger number of antenna elements and providing an additional beamforming gain, efficient management of beams—where user equipment (UE) and gNodeB (gNB) regularly identify the optimal beams to work on at any given point of time—has become crucial. Read this white paper to learn about:

  • The components of beam management and 3GPP-defined beam management procedures
  • Various beam management techniques and their importance in maintaining a healthy communication link
  • The method to design and simulate efficient 5G NR beam management procedures using MATLAB® and add-on toolboxes
