Abstract:
A transmit-receive-point (TRP) may send a beam management configuration message to a user equipment (UE) that includes downlink beam management configuration parameters to use for an ensuing beam management procedure between the TRP and the UE. The beam management configuration message may specify various parameters associated with TRP/UE beams that are to be evaluated during the beam management procedure, directional transmission/reception capabilities of the TRP (e.g., how many transmit-beams and/or receive-beams the TRP is capable of using for simultaneous direction reception/transmission, etc.), spreading sequence parameters (e.g., which spreading sequence, or spreading sequence group, is to be used during the beam management procedure), and/or beam management protocol information.
