METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR TRANSMITTING AN ALLOCATION OF TIME IN A WIRELESS SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An apparatus for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive communications via a plurality of receive beam directions; and
a transmitter configured to communicate an allocation of time for one or more of the receive beam directions,wherein the allocation of time for each of the one or more receive beam directions is based at least in part on information regarding one or more apparatuses known to be located in each respective receive beam direction of the one or more of the receive beam directions.

Abstract
Various methods and apparatuses for transmitting an allocation of time in a wireless communication system are disclosed. In one aspect, an allocation of time for receiving communications via a receive beam direction is transmitted. The allocation of time may be based on information regarding an apparatus known to be located in the receive beam direction. A unique time for receiving communications from each known apparatus may be allocated, or a duration of time for receiving communications from the known apparatuses may vary based on a number of apparatuses known to located in a receive beam direction.
