Abstract
Described is an apparatus of an Evolved Node-B (eNB). The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to associate a first Beam Reference Signal (BRS) for a first Transmit (Tx) beam having a first beamwidth with one or more second BRSes for one or more respectively corresponding second Tx beams having a second beamwidth. The second circuitry may be operable to generate a first BRS transmission carrying the first BRS, and to generate one or more second BRS transmissions carrying the one or more respectively corresponding second BRSes. The third circuitry may be operable to provide information regarding the first BRS and the second BRSes to the second circuitry.
