Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for beam refinement. The techniques presented herein may allow for beam refinement using an existing frame structure and utilizing resources (receive antenna ports) that may otherwise be idle.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for wireless communications by a user equipment, comprising:\n transmitting a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) to a base station using an uplink transmit beam that is broader than downlink transmit beams used by the base station to transmit physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs); receiving a PDSCH transmitted by the base station using a downlink transmit beam selected based on detection of the PUCCH; receiving signaling indicating a change to the selected downlink transmit beam for transmitting PDSCH; and processing channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) transmitted with the PDSCH, based on the change.
