Claim 14:
15. A method of operation by a wireless communication device configured for operation with a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
receiving one or more synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) or downlink reference signals indicating resources for system access from one or more Transmission/Reception Points (TRPs);
determining a directional reception scanning ability of the device; and
sending a capability indication to the network, indicating the directional reception scanning ability of the device; and
for receiving a network transmission that comprises a random access response (RAR), configuring reception beamforming at the device from one or more TRPs in dependence on the directional reception scanning ability, wherein the directional reception scanning ability corresponds to whether the device has the ability to scan in multiple reception directions simultaneously, and where the device is not able to scan in multiple reception directions simultaneously, configuring the reception beamforming at the device comprises selecting a particular reception beamforming direction corresponding to one of the received SSBs or downlink reference signals.
