1. A user equipment (UE) device comprising:
first communication circuitry configured to communicate with a first wireless communication network according to a first radio access technology (RAT), wherein the first communication circuitry is configured to:
receive information indicating a position, relative to the UE, of a network node of a third wireless communication network;
second communication circuitry configured to communicate with a second wireless communication network according to a second, different RAT, wherein the second communication circuitry is configured to:
receive scheduling information from a network node of the second wireless communication network, the scheduling information indicating resources to be used by the UE device for performing a beam alignment procedure with the network node of the third wireless communication network; and
third communication circuitry configured to communicate with the third wireless communication network according to a third, different RAT, wherein the third communication circuitry is configured to:
perform the beam alignment procedure with the network node of the third wireless communication network according to the scheduling information.
