Millimeter-wavelength network map for use in a beamforming procedure
Aspects described herein may enable a network entity to create an mmW cell geometry and/or to seed a base station codebook and a UE codebook to improve a beamforming procedure while maintaining peak performance gain that is provided by scanning narrower beams. The network entity may provide information associated with the base station codebook and the UE codebook to the base station. The network entity may also provide, to the base station, a subframe structure to be used during a beamforming procedure that is based on the base station codebook and the UE codebook. The base station and the UE may perform the beamforming procedure based in the subframe structure using beam orientations indicated in the base station codebook and the UE codebook. From the beamforming procedure, the base station and the UE may determine an access beam to be used in communication between the base station and the UE.
