Abstract
A method of a user equipment (UE) for beam management in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises receiving, from a base station (BS), a downlink message comprising configuration information that includes a direction of Tx beam and a pattern of the beam sweeping of a set of transmit (Tx) beams for sounding reference signals (SRSs); determining information comprising the direction of the Tx beam and the pattern of the beam sweeping of the set of Tx beams; and transmitting, to the BS, an uplink message including a number of the SRSs for the beam management of the set of Tx beams in accordance with the configuration information.
