Abstract

Les modes de réalisation de la présente demande concernent un procédé, un dispositif et un système de traitement de faisceau, ainsi qu'un support d'enregistrement. Le procédé consiste à : acquérir des informations spatiales d'une pluralité de faisceaux ; et déterminer un faisceau d'émission d'un dispositif de réseau et/ou un faisceau de réception d'un équipement terminal en fonction des informations spatiales de la pluralité de faisceaux. Selon la solution fournie par les modes de réalisation de la présente demande, étant donné que le faisceau d'émission du dispositif de réseau et/ou le faisceau de réception du équipement terminal sont déterminés en fonction des informations spatiales de la pluralité de faisceaux, le nombre de faisceaux devant être mesurés et les informations de mesure de faisceau devant être renvoyées pendant la mesure de faisceau sont réduits, réduisant ainsi la surcharge de signalisation et réduisant le temps de commutation pendant la commutation de faisceau.
