The present disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, directed to configuration of a beamforming vector using an estimated covariance matrix, which may reduce latency commensurate with a beam training procedure. In some aspects, an apparatus may receive, from another apparatus, information indicating a configured subset of a set of TX beams at the other apparatus. The other apparatus may transmit pilot signals via the configured subset of the set of TX beams. The apparatus may transmit, to the other apparatus, an accumulated signal strength value associated with a set of signal strength values measured using received pilot signals. The apparatus may estimate a channel covariance matrix using the accumulated signal strength value, and may calculate a beamforming vector from the channel covariance matrix. The apparatus and the other apparatus may perform a beam training procedure using respective beamforming vectors.
