1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
a transceiver configured to send and receive wireless signals with a base station; and
one or more processors coupled with the transceiver configured to:
generate a message that indicates whether the UE is capable of intra-symbol beam sweeping;
transmit, via the transceiver, the message to the base station;
implement a reception configuration based on the message; and
receive transmission signals from the base station using the reception configuration,
wherein the received transmission signals include secondary information transmitted with a beam sweeping symbol in an uncorrelated direction to the beam sweeping symbol.
