Claim 10:
11. A device, comprising:
a processing system including a processor, wherein the processing system is communicatively coupled with a plurality of coherent modular antenna panels; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
tracking coherence times and coherence bandwidths for a plurality of user equipment (UEs) that are served by a first cell via the plurality of coherent modular antenna panels;
identifying a particular pilot sequence length based on the tracking the coherence times and the coherence bandwidths;
responsive to the identifying the particular pilot sequence length, generating a plurality of orthogonal pilot sequences;
determining a number of cells in which any given pilot sequence of the plurality of orthogonal pilot sequences is not to be reused;
identifying a plurality of neighboring cells adjacent to the first cell based on the determining the number of cells; and
providing, to each neighboring cell of the plurality of neighboring cells, a respective subset of orthogonal pilot sequences of the plurality of orthogonal pilot sequences.
