Claim 13:
14. A user equipment apparatus comprising:
at least one wireless transceiver;
a processor; and
computer-readable storage media comprising instructions, responsive to execution by the processor, for directing the user equipment apparatus to perform operations comprising:
receiving an indication to coordinate beam sweeping with a user-equipment-coordination set;
in response to receiving the indication to coordinate beam sweeping, directing, over a local wireless network connection, each user equipment in the user-equipment-coordination set to perform a beam-training procedure that includes receiving, from a base station, a set of downlink beam transmissions that cover a spatial area according to pre-specified time intervals and directions;
forwarding, to the base station and over a wireless network connection, beam report information that indicates beam quality information based on the beam-training procedure;
in response to forwarding the beam report information, receiving, from the base station and over the wireless network connection, an indication of one or more beam identities and one or more assigned time slots; and
directing at least two user equipments in the user-equipment-coordination set to use specific beams indicated by the one or more beam identities at specific time slots indicated by the one or more assigned time slots by transmitting, over the local wireless network connection, a respective beam identity of the one or more beam identities and a respective time slot of the one or more assigned time slots to each user equipment of the at least two user equipments.
