Abstract

Described is an apparatus of an Evolved Node-B (eNB). The apparatus comprises a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry associates a first Beam Reference Signal (BRS) for a first Transmit (Tx) beam having a first beamwidth with one or more second BRSes for one or more respectively corresponding second Tx beams having a second beamwidth. The second circuitry generates a first BRS transmission carrying the first BRS, and generates one or more second BRS transmissions carrying the one or more respectively corresponding second BRSes. The third circuitry provides information regarding the first BRS and the second BRSes to the second circuitry.
