1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver configured to:
receive configuration information about L uplink (UL) reference signals (RSs), M downlink (DL) RSs, and a calibration report, wherein the L UL RSs are associated with the M DL RSs, where L≥1 and M≥1; and
transmit the L UL RSs according to the configuration information; and
a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
measure the M DL RSs; and
determine, based on the measured M DL RSs and a reference DL RS, calibration information,
wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit the calibration report including the calibration information.
