Abstract

A method performed by a beam management system that obtains spatial and temporal measurements of a mobile terminal and geolocation information of an associated base station on a wireless communication network. The system determines a phase compensation value for the mobile terminal based on the obtained information, which is used to calculate or select coefficients for antenna elements that form an optimal antenna beam. Thus, the system can perform beam switching quickly and efficiently based on predicted spatial or temporal characteristics of the mobile terminal without needing to wait for actual beam measurements.
