Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus of a user equipment (UE), comprises one or more radio-frequency (RF) transceivers to receive beam related information from a serving evolved Node B (eNB) in a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) of the serving eNB for beam reference signal (BRS) measurements to be performed on a neighbor eNB, and to receive one or more BRS transmissions in a PDCCH, PBCH, or PDSCH of the neighbor eNB on a selected set of beams of the neighbor eNB according to the beam related information. One or more baseband processors to perform the BRS measurements on the received BRS transmissions and to generate a mobility measurement report for the neighbor eNB based on the BRS measurements. The one or more RF transceivers are to transmit the mobility measurement report for the neighbor eNB to the serving eNB in a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).
