Abstract
A method of operating a first wireless communication device (101) communicating with a second wireless communication device (102) on a device-to-device link (114) in accordance with a pre-established beam pair is provided. The method includes communicating at least one message (4101-4103) indicative of an activation of at least one of a first transmission (181) of first reference signals (191) from the first wireless communication device (101) to the second wireless communication device (102), or a second transmission (182) of second reference signals (192) from the second wireless communication device (102) to the first wireless communication device (101). The activation of the at least one of the first transmission (181) or the second transmission (182) is for use in beam adjustment of the pre-established beam pair at the first wireless communication device (101). The method also includes participating in the at least one of the first transmission (181) or the second transmission (182) based on the communicated at least one message (4101-4103).
