Narrow beam related search information

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses are provided which may be implemented in a base station, user equipment, and/or the like, to share information supportive of narrow beam transmissions. For example, a base station may be configured to access a neighbor cell list corresponding to a coverage area, determine a subset of the neighbor cell list corresponding to a first narrow beam to be transmitted, and transmit a message indicative of the subset of the neighbor cell list. In another example, a user equipment may be configured to receive a message indicative of a subset of a neighbor cell list for a portion of a coverage area of a base station corresponding to a first narrow beam, and search for one or more wireless signals based, at least in part, on the subset of the neighbor cell list.
