Apparatuses and methods for beam reporting operations. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) includes receiving an indication for reporting, in a channel state information (CSI) reporting instance, one or more resource indicators and corresponding beam metrics associated with a first physical cell identity (PCI) or a second PCI and receiving a set of reference signals (RSs) for determining the one or more resource indicators and corresponding beam metrics. The method further includes measure one or more RSs in the set of RSs; determining, based on the measured one or more RSs in the set of RSs, the one or more resource indicators and corresponding beam metrics; and transmitting, in the CSI reporting instance, the one or more resource indicators and corresponding beam metrics associated with the first or second PCIs. The second PCI is different from a serving cell PCI.
