Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de sélection de faisceau. Un côté réseau indique, en configurant un facteur d'étalement de faisceau pour un dispositif terminal, qu'un dispositif de réseau peut fournir un faisceau pour une transmission de données ayant un gain de faisceau supérieur en plus d'un faisceau pour balayage de faisceau. Par conséquent, au cours du processus de sélection d'un faisceau de service, le dispositif terminal tient compte du facteur d'étalement de faisceau en plus du résultat de mesure d'un signal de référence correspondant au faisceau pour balayage de faisceau. Le dispositif terminal peut donc être assisté pour sélectionner un site susceptible de fournir un faisceau ayant un débit de transmission de données supérieur, ce qui facilite une transmission de données ultérieure.
