Abstract

A user equipment (UE) is disclosed including a receiver that receives at least a reference signal (RS) transmitted using a first beam from a transmission and reception point (TRP), using at least a second beam, and a processor that determines the first beam paired with the second beam based on reception quality of the RSs. The UE further includes a transmitter that transmits feedback information indicating the determined first beam. The second beam is an omni-directional beam. The receiver receives, from the TRP, reception (Rx) beam designation information indicating an Rx beam to receive the RSs, and the second beam is the Rx beam.
