Resource Counting for Reference Signals

A method, comprising:

• determining:
• a first number of reference signal resources that a user equipment (UE) is capable of processing during an amount of time for a beam management measurement;
• and
• a second number of ports that the UE is capable of processing during the amount of time for the beam management measurement, wherein the second number is greater than one;
• transmitting, to a base station:
• an indication of the first number of reference signal resources;
• and
• an indication of the second number of ports;
• receiving, from the base station, a reference signal using the second number of ports;
• and
• performing the beam management measurement based on the reference signal.

• and
• transmitting, to the UE, a reference signal using the second number of ports, wherein the reference signal is useable for performing the beam management measurement.
