Estimating the term…
A user equipment (120), which has been configured by a network (110) to operate as coordinator UE in a reconfigurable virtual user equipment, RVUE, which further includes at least one non-coordinator UE. The coordinator UE is configured to: indicate to the network a capability of RVUE-coordinated beam management; receive from the network a configuration of a RVUE-coordinated beam management procedure, in which a beam-reporting task is delegated from the non-coordinator UEs to the coordinator UE; and perform measurements and reporting in accordance with the configuration of the RVUE-coordinated beam management procedure. In some embodiments, the coordinator UE is configured to transmit a beam report (310) with a mandatory report part (311) and an optional report part (312), where the mandatory report part indicates a beam preferred by the coordinator UE (e.g., on the basis of its own measurements), and the optional report part indicates a beam preferred by a non-coordinator UE.
