Claim 28:
29. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a processor;
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
communicate with a user equipment (UE) over a directional beam;
transmit, to the UE, a configuration of one or more channel sounding messages for one or more directional beams associated with a satellite, wherein each directional beam of the one or more directional beams is associated with a set of frequency resources including an anchor resource, each of the one or more channel sounding messages being configured for reception on a frequency resource, of the set of frequency resources, that is different from the anchor resource, for each directional beam, of the set of frequency resources associated with each directional beam;
receive, from the UE, the one or more channel sounding messages for sounding at least one directional beam of the one or more directional beams, the one or more channel sounding messages received on respective frequency resources different from at least one corresponding anchor resource; and
determine a channel quality of the directional beam based at least in part on the received one or more channel sounding messages.
