Abstract

An example embodiment includes measuring by a user equipment, at least a signal quality and angle-of-arrival of wireless signals received from a network node; determining, by the user equipment, that the received wireless signals include signals from both primary path wireless beams and/or received reflected path wireless beams, based on the signal quality and the angle of arrival of the wireless signals; ranking, by the user equipment, the received wireless signals to primary path wireless beams and/or received reflected path wireless beams, based on the signal quality; and transmitting, by the user equipment, to the network node, at least one report including indications of both the received primary wireless beams having the best overall signal quality among both the primary and reflected beams, and received reflected path wireless beams having the best signal quality among the received reflected path wireless beams.
