Beam alignment is a critical requirement in 5G-Advanced and 6G due to the high density of user devices anticipated in the coming years. However, prior-art beam alignment procedures are slow and costly in terms of resource usage. Therefore, disclosed herein are methods enabling a user device to determine the direction toward the base station rapidly at very low cost. The base station emits a tailored pulse with an angle-dependent phase, varying from a first phase at a first angle, to a second phase at a second angle, followed by a uniform-phase calibrator pulse. The user device can measure the as-received phase of the tailored pulse relative to the calibrator pulse, and thereby determine the user's direction relative to the base station. The user device can then inform the base station of the received phase, which is proportional to the angle. Both user and base station thereby obtain instant beam alignment.

A method performed by a network entity includes determining a target timing mismatch for a phase timing slope between first and second channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) resources, and determining, based on the target timing mismatch, a first band separation between a first calibrated phase for the first the second CSI-RS resource and a second calibrated phase for the first and the second CSI-RS resource. The method further includes determining a first frequency band for the first calibrated phase, and determining, based on the band separation, a second frequency band for the second calibrated phase. The method further includes determining, based on the band separation between the first calibrated phase the second calibrated phase, a first phase timing slope between the first the second CSI-RS resource, and performing joint transmission from a first TRP and a second TRP based on the first phase timing slope.
