    Abstract: Sector sweeps are described for establishing two-way data communications with directional antennas. Some examples receive a sequence of base station transmit sector sweep signals from a base station (BS) at the UE, each signal being transmitted to a different transmit sector from a multiple antenna array of the BS, select a best transmitted signal at the UE from among the received signals, send a sequence of UE transmit sector sweep signals to the base station from the UE, each signal being transmitted to a different transmit sector from a multiple antenna array of the UE, send an identification of the selected best base station transmit sector sweep signal to the base station, receive an identification of a selected best UE transmit sector sweep signal from the base station, and send data to the BS using the identified best UE transmit sector.

    Abstract: Network devices and systems in 5G advance long term evolution (LTE) and new radio (NR) infrastructures utilize beam management operations to ensure communications for channel state information (CSI) reporting by a user equipment (UE). CSI report configuration reporting settings are processed based on a codebook subset restriction to indicate pre-coding matrix indicators (PMIs) that are restricted and non-restricted for PMI reporting associated with a rank indicator (RI). Based on the codebook subset restriction, an advanced CSI codebook or a new radio (NR) codebook is generated to be transmitted on non-restricted beams of the codebook subset restriction.

    Abstract: A radio communication device includes a plurality of antenna arrays each configured to generate a steerable antenna beam according to a respective beamforming codeword, wherein each of the plurality of antenna arrays is configured to obtain the respective beamforming codeword from a single-antenna-array steering codebook that is reused by each of the plurality of antenna arrays, and a beamforming circuit configured to weight signals for the plurality of antenna arrays to coordinate the steerable antenna beams from a subset of the plurality of antenna arrays to form a combined antenna beam in a first steering direction.
