Abstract

A user equipment, UE, for communicating with a base station, BS, in a wireless communication system is described. The UE comprises one or more antenna arrays, each antenna array having a plurality of antenna elements. The UE signals to a BS, dependent on a property of the one or more antenna arrays, whether the UE supports full beam correspondence, partial beam correspondence or no beam correspondence.
