Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 13:
14. An electronic device, comprising:
an antenna;
an interface circuit, coupled to the antenna, configured to communicate with a radio node in a wireless communication system, wherein the electronic device is configured to:
receive, associated with the radio node, information comprising a measurement configuration associated with the wireless communication system;
perform measurements using narrow beam patterns based at least in part on a network configuration, wherein the narrow beam patterns are narrower than a wide beam pattern of the electronic device;
conduct, with the radio node, a secondary cell (SCell) activation procedure of an SCell, wherein the SCell activation procedure comprises:
receiving, associated with the radio node, the SCell activation; and
reporting, addressed to the radio node, channel state information (CSI) of a narrow beam pattern of the SCell that is to be activated, wherein the narrow beam pattern is narrower than the wide beam pattern of the electronic device, and the narrow beam pattern is based at least in part on the measurements; and

receive, associated with the radio node, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) activation, wherein the TCI activation is received no later than the reporting of the CSI of the narrow beam pattern of the SCell.
