Techniques for spatial quasi co-location relationship for analog beamforming with discrete antennas

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processing system that includes one or more processors and one or more code-storing memories coupled with the one or more processors, the processing system configured to cause the UE to:
• transmit, to a network node, signaling indicating an analog beamforming capability associated with the UE;
• and
• receive, from the network node, a reference signal configuration in accordance with the analog beamforming capability associated with the UE, wherein the reference signal configuration indicates a spatial quasi co-location (QCL) relationship between one or more reference signals for learning beam weights and one or more transmissions that use the beam weights.
