Abstract:
Devices and methods of beamforming are generally described. A UE transmits to an eNB a BRSRP report having selected BRSRP values and associated BRS IDs. An active link list, a CSI resource indication, and a first active link are used to measure the CSI resource and CSI feedback is sent. A serving link ID is provided to indicate a second active link to use for control and data reception. Rx beams are trained based on multiple instances of each BRS and the eNB supplies selection criteria for the BRSRP report. The Rx beams are refined based on BRRS and the second active link is dependent on BRRSRP or CSI feedback. When configured for dual beam operation, the BRSRP feedback corresponds to BRSRP value pairs and dual Rx beams associated with a pair of serving link IDs are used.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus of user equipment (UE) comprising:\n a memory; and processing circuitry connected with the memory and arranged to:\n generate a beam reference signal (BRS) receive power (BRSRP) report for transmission to the eNB, the BRSRP report comprising selected BRSRP values and BRS identifiers (IDs) associated with BRSs used to measure the BRSRP values; \n decode, from the eNB after transmission of the BRSRP report:\n an active link list comprising a set of active links, \n a CSI resource indication comprising a CSI resource, and \n a first active link of the set of active links to be used to measure the CSI resource, selection of the first active link based on the BRSRP report; \n \n set a first receive (Rx) beam associated with the first active link, determine a CSI of the CSI resource, and generate CSI feedback for transmission to the eNB indicating the CSI; \n decode, from the eNB after transmission of the CSI feedback, a serving link ID that indicates a second active link to use for control and data reception, selection of the second active link based on the CSI feedback; and \n set a second Rx beam associated with the second active link for control and data reception.
