1. A method for wireless communications by a base station, comprising:

  • mapping N physical antennas arranged in at least two dimensions to K virtual antennas, wherein K is less than N, and wherein the mapping comprises spatial sampling in both vertical and horizontal directions;

    transmitting reference signals (RS) via the K virtual antennas; and

    receiving, from a user equipment (UE), feedback based on the RS transmitted on the K virtual antennas, wherein a timeline for UE feedback reporting is dependent on a number of transmit antennas of the base station.
