1. A method of operating a wireless communication device, comprising:
participating in beam-swept transmissions of at least one symbol on a wireless link between the wireless communication device and a further wireless communication device along multiple beams, each symbol of the at least one symbol including at least one reference signal,
wherein the beam-swept transmissions are at least partly overlapping in frequency and time and have a time offset from each other that is smaller than a guard interval duration associated with the at least one symbol.
