Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for transmitting a first signal corresponding to a symbol so as to cover a geographic sector with via analog beamforming, transmitting, using analog beamforming and a second port, a second signal corresponding to the symbol, wherein aspects of the symbol are phase modulated with respect to the first signal such that corresponding aspects of a combined signal are beam-formed in one or more directions that at least partially overlap the geographic sector, a receiver receives the combined signal and from it determines a preferred refined beam for subsequent transmissions and transmits an indicator that includes the preferred refined beam, and the transmitter receives an indication from a receiver identifying one or more aspects of the combined signal, and determining a refined beam for subsequent transmissions based at least in part on the indication.

Claim (Index 29):
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:\n a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to: transmit, using beamforming and a first port, a first signal corresponding to a symbol so as to cover a geographic sector; transmit, using beamforming and a second port, a second signal corresponding to the symbol, wherein aspects of the symbol are additionally modulated during the transmitting of the second signal with respect to the transmitting of the first signal such that corresponding aspects of a combined signal of the first signal and second signal are beam-formed in one or more directions that at least partially overlap the geographic sector; receive an indication from a receiver identifying one or more of the aspects of the combined signal, wherein the indication is based at least in part on measurements of the one or more of the aspects of the second signal; and determine a refined beam for subsequent transmissions based at least in part on the indication.
