Systems, methods and devices for beam selection in a wireless communication system

A wireless electronic device used in a wireless communication system, the wireless electronic device comprising:

• an antenna module configured to perform operations comprising:
• performing a reduced beam sweep corresponding to a reduced set of beams that are a subset of a full set of beams available for transmitting and/or receiving from the antenna module, without sweeping beams that are not members of the reduced set of beams;
• selecting a beam out of the reduced set of beams for transmitting and/or receiving from the antenna module based on the reduced beam sweep without sweeping beams that are not members of the reduced set of beams;
• and
• performing a full beam sweep corresponding to the full set of beams at a first time interval,
• wherein the performing the reduced beam sweep occurs at one or more second time intervals that occur more frequently than the first time interval.
