Method and apparatus for ue beamforming and beam sweeping in a wireless communication system

A user equipment (UE) device, comprising:

• a control circuit;
• a processor installed in the control circuit;
• and
• a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to perform operations comprising:
• providing information related to UE beamforming to a network node, wherein the information comprises a UE beam sweeping number.

A network device, comprising:

• a control circuit;
• a processor installed in the control circuit;
• and
• a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to perform operations comprising:
• receiving information related to UE beamforming from a UE, wherein the information comprises a UE beam sweeping number;
• and
• providing configuration information or allocating a resource to the UE, wherein the configuration information or the resource is determined based on at least the information received from the UE.
