1. A method of wireless communication for a base station, the method comprising:
- communicating with a user equipment (UE) through a first active beam;
determining that beam tracking is to be performed with the UE, the beam tracking including identifying a new beam for communication between the UE and the base station;
performing beam tracking with the UE using initially a first plurality of beams and subsequently a second plurality of beams based on the determination that beam tracking is to be performed; and
communicating with the UE through a second active beam based on the beam tracking.

Abstract
A first apparatus may communicate with a user equipment through a first active beam. The first apparatus may determine that beam tracking is to be performed with the UE, including identifying a new beam for communication between the UE and the apparatus. The first apparatus may perform beam tracking with the UE based on the determination that beam tracking is to be performed. The first apparatus may communicate with the UE through a second active beam based on the beam tracking.

12. A method of wireless communication for a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
-
communicating with a base station through a first active beam; receiving a first signal and a second signal from the base station associated with beam tracking, wherein the first signal is received initially through a first beam of a first plurality of beams and the second signal is received subsequently through a second beam of a second plurality of beams, the beam tracking including identifying a new beam for communication between the UE and the base station; and communicating with the base station through a second active beam based on at least one of the first signal or the second signal associated with beam tracking. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
