    Abstract: A method, performed by a wireless communications device, for beam training with a radio access network of a wireless communications system. The wireless communications device is configured with a first set of multiple beams for a first beam training and a second set of multiple beams for a second beam training. The second set is different from the first set, the method including: performing the first beam training with the first set of multiple beams; calculating a channel metric associated with the wireless communications device based on the performed first beam training with the first set; selecting, for the second beam training, a subset of beams of the second set based on the calculated channel metric; and performing the second beam training with the selected subset.

    Abstract: Methods for a communication node configured with an antenna array having a plurality of antenna elements. Such methods include determining a link metric for a data transmission received or transmitted using a first portion of the antenna elements, and determining a first value for a first function of the link metric and of a performance target for the link metric. Such methods include, based on the first value, selectively updating the first portion and a second portion of the antenna elements by a first number. The second portion is disjoint from the first portion. Such methods include concurrently performing the following when the updated second portion includes at least one antenna element: receiving or transmitting one or more data transmissions using a first beam formed by the updated first portion; and scanning for reference signal transmissions using a second beam formed by the updated second portion.
