  • the existing release (Rel)-15 new radio (NR) frequency range 2 (FR2) minimum UE requirements are defined with an assumption that UE is only required to receive with a single antenna panel at a time and capable to perform DL reception using a single receiver (RX) beam/chain.
  • the UE performance requirements are limited for DL MIMO rank 1 and 2 in FR2.
  • 4-layer MIMO reception requires beam reception from at least two directions. Although this is supported by the MIMO features since Rel-15, no UE performance requirements have yet been specified. This is important for high-rate MIMO in FR2, as well as for FR2 high speed train (HST) scenarios.
  • Enhanced NR FR2 UEs with multi -beam simultaneous reception and multiple RX chains can provide a meaningful performance improvement in FR2 improving both demodulation performance (4-layer DL MIMO), RRM performance and improve RF spherical coverage. Therefore, in Rel-18, the work item NR_FR2_multiRX_DL is being developed, which aims to introduce the requirements for UEs capable of multi -beam/chain simultaneous DL reception on a single component carrier to achieve improved RF, RRM and UE demodulation performance.

However, these bands are also subject to challenging propagating conditions such as high path loss, absorption from the environment, penetration losses to name a few. To overcome these, beam management procedures have been defined in 3GPP.
  • Beam Management is a set of procedures to assist UE to set its receive (Rx) and transmit (Tx) beams for downlink and uplink transmissions, respectively.

  • RAN4 agreed to use Rel-17 group-based beam reporting as a prerequisite for multi-Rx reception in Rel-18.
  • group-based beam reporting the UE reports N groups/pairs (i.e. beams that can be simultaneously received) of M beams (i.e. at least 2 beams in one group). The pairing is done by the UE according to its capabilities.
