In some embodiments, the beam generating information comprises one of: a high-gain beam vector and an index value. In embodiments in which the beam generating information is an index value, TRP 152 uses the index value to retrieve a beam vector associated with the index value. The TRP 152 may retrieve the beam vector from a local storage unit a centralized remote storage unit. For example, TRP 152 may transmit to a server with access to the remote storage unit a query comprising the index value and the server uses the index value to obtain the beam vector from remote storage unit and then provide the retrieved beam vector to TRP 152.

In some embodiments, process 400 further comprises TRP 150 communicating with the UE using a high-gain beam, and the step of determining that the UE should be handed over to TRP 152 comprises: 1) TRP 150 obtaining first handover triggering information identifying a first handover triggering condition, the first handover triggering information comprising first beam information; 2) TRP 150 obtaining second beam information associated with the high-gain beam; and 3) TRP 150 determining whether the second beam information matches the first beam information.
