1. A user equipment in a mobile communication system, the user equipment comprising:
processing circuitry, which, in operation, determines that a neighbor radio base station does not provide a beamformed reference signal to the user equipment;
a transmitter, which, in operation, transmits a measurement report to a serving radio base station serving the user equipment, wherein the measurement report includes one or more results of measurements which cause the serving radio base station to request the neighbor radio base station to provide the beamformed reference signal to the user equipment; and
a receiver, which, in operation, receives from the serving radio base station a notification message comprising information on the requested beamformed reference signal.
