Abstract

The present application is at least directed to an apparatus on a network including a non-transitory memory including instructions stored thereon for beamforming training. The apparatus also includes a processor, operably coupled to the non-transitory memory, capable of executing the instructions of monitoring a first beamforming training reference signal (BT-RS) and physical broadcast channel (PBCH) of a network node to acquire symbol timing and subframe timing, where a common part of the PBCH includes a first beam ID. The processor is also configured to execute the instructions of transmitting, to the network node, a beam ID feedback with a unique training sequence generated based on the first beam ID to establish a radio resource control (RRC) connection. The processor is further configured to execute the instructions of receiving, from the network node, a second BT-RS to perform beamforming training. The processor even further is configured to execute the instructions of receiving, from the network node, downlink control information (DCI) carrying one or more second beam IDs. The one or more second beam IDs are associated with one or more beams configured via RRC signaling. Resources of the second BT-RS are configured by a RRC message via the RRC connection.
