Abstract

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) configured with a plurality of antenna panels. Each antenna panel is configured to beamform over a millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency band. The method includes identifying a predetermined condition corresponding to a first antenna panel of the plurality of antenna panels, selecting a second antenna panel of the plurality of antenna panels based on identifying the predetermined condition corresponding to the first antenna panel and transmitting a beam via the second antenna panel based on the selection.
