Measurement procedure associated with a receive antenna array with a spatial non-stationarity sub-array configuration

A measurement procedure management entity, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• one or more transceivers;
• and
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, wherein the one or more processors, either alone or in combination, are configured to:
• determine a measurement procedure configuration for a measurement procedure associated with a receive (Rx) antenna array of a wireless node,
• wherein the Rx antenna array comprises a spatial non-stationarity (SnS) sub-array configuration that comprises a first SnS sub-array associated with a first set of SnS sub-array characteristics and a second SnS sub-array associated with a second set of SnS sub-array characteristics, and
• wherein the measurement procedure configuration comprises information associated with the SnS sub-array configuration;
• and
• transmit, to the wireless node, the measurement procedure configuration.

A method performed by a wireless node, comprising:

• receiving, from a measurement procedure management entity, a measurement procedure configuration for a measurement procedure associated with a receive (Rx) antenna array of the wireless node,
• wherein the Rx antenna array comprises a spatial non-stationarity (SnS) sub-array configuration that comprises a first SnS sub-array associated with a first set of SnS sub-array characteristics and a second SnS sub-array associated with a second set of SnS sub-array characteristics, and
• wherein the measurement procedure configuration comprises information associated with the SnS sub-array configuration;
• and
• performing the measurement procedure via the Rx antenna array in accordance with the measurement procedure configuration.
