Claim 14:
15. A user equipment device comprising:
at least one antenna;
at least one radio, wherein the at least one radio is to perform cellular communications using a radio access technology that establishes a wireless link with a serving cell; and
one or more processors, configured to perform operations that include:
receiving a first channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) signal through the serving cell and a second CSI-RS signal through a neighboring cell, the first CSI-RS signal and the second CSI-RS signal being periodic;
determining a first Rx beam to measure the first CSI-RS signal and a second Rx beam to measure the second CSI-RS signal based on quasi-colocation (QCL) information, then
measuring only the second CSI-RS signal with the second Rx beam, in response to the first CSI-RS signal and the second CSI-RS signal being fully overlapped; and
performing at least one of a) measuring the second CSI-RS signal when not overlapped, and measuring the first CSI-RS signal when overlapped, or b) measuring the second CSI-RS signal when not overlapped, and alternating between measuring the first CSI-RS signal and the second CSI-RS signal when overlapped, in response to one or more occasions of the second CSI-RS signal not being overlapped with the first CSI-RS signal.
