Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to user equipment (UE)-assisted beam broadening in a wireless communication system configured to employ beamforming. A UE may determine downlink channel characteristics by monitoring for, receiving, and measuring a suitable downlink reference signal. Based on the channel characteristics the UE may select a wide beam corresponding to a set of narrow beams. The UE may then transmit a report identifying the selected wide beam by indicating a direction of the selected wide beam and an angular width of the selected wide beam. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.
