Abstract
An apparatus for a wireless communication network is described that has an antenna unit. The antenna unit includes a plurality of antennas or one or more antenna arrays each having a plurality of antenna elements. The apparatus communicates with one or more network entities of the wireless communication network, like a base station or another UE. The apparatus transmits to or receives from the network entity a reference signal, like a Sounding Reference Signal, SRS, or a Synchronization Signal Block, SSB, using one or more beams beamformed by the apparatus using one or more input parameters. The apparatus transmits a feedback to the network entity, the feedback indicating the one or more input parameters the apparatus uses for beamforming the one or more beams, and/or the apparatus is configured or preconfigured, e.g., by the network entity, with the one or more input parameters.
