Dynamically layered beamformed signals for fifth generation (5G) wireless communication systems or other next generation wireless communication systems

A method, comprising:

• acquiring, by a network device comprising a processor, a beamformed control signal from a base station,
• based on the beamformed control signal, facilitating, by the network device, establishing a connection with the base station, and
• using the connection, receiving, by the network device, from the base station, a beamformed signal for the connection directed to the network device based on an approximate geographic location of the network device, wherein the approximate geographic location was determined by the base station based on a direction of the beamformed signal and the beamformed control signal acquired by the network device, and wherein the beamformed control signal comprises a beamwidth that was selected by the base station to facilitate establishment of wireless coverage by the base station.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of network equipment, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• acquiring a control signal from a base station,
• based on the control signal, establishing a connection with the base station, and
• using the connection, receiving, from the base station, a beamformed signal for the connection directed to the network equipment based on an approximate geographic location of the network equipment, wherein the approximate geographic location was determined by the base station based on a direction of the beamformed signal and the control signal acquired by the network equipment, and wherein the control signal comprises a beamwidth that was selected by the base station to facilitate establishment of wireless coverage by the base station.
