1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media (NTCRM) comprising instructions for flexible transmit (Tx) beamforming assignment on a reference signal, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors is to cause a radio equipment (RE) to:
determine the reference signal with the flexible Tx beamforming assignment from a received downlink (DL) transmission; and
transmit, in an uplink (UL) reference signal transmission, assistance information allowing update of DL transmission beamforming for a corresponding DL reference signal.
