1. Network equipment, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
determining probing codebook policy data representative of a probing codebook policy for a cell site;
determining reporting policy data representative of a reporting policy for the cell site;
estimating, based on the probing codebook policy data and user equipment measurement data representative of a user equipment measurement, a candidate sparse probing beam sweep measurement subgroup having a first cardinality that is less than a second cardinality of a potential probing beam sweep measurement group;
performing synchronization signal block beam sweeping based on the sparse candidate probing beam sweep measurement subgroup to determine, based on reference received power signal data returned based on the reporting policy data, at least a threshold high performing subgroup of beams from among the candidate probing beam sweep measurement subgroup, wherein at least the threshold high performing beam sweep measurement subgroup has a third cardinality that is less than the second cardinality; and
performing channel state information-reference signal beam sweeping based on at least the threshold high performing beam sweep measurement subgroup to determine, based on identifier information returned from a user equipment, a communication beam, from among the candidate probing beam sweep measurement subgroup, that is usable to achieve at least a threshold high performance.
