A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The apparatus listens for directional signal beams according to a first pattern, detects a plurality of discovery signals respectively from a plurality of connection points (CPs), wherein each CP transmits a discovery signal by transmitting a directional beam according to a respective pattern, determines information related to each CP based on the discovery signal detected from a respective CP, determines a timeslot for transmitting an association signal to each CP, wherein a respective timeslot is determined based on the information determined for the respective CP or a timeslot in which the respective discovery signal is transmitted by the respective CP according to the respective pattern, and transmits an association signal to each CP in the respective timeslot according to a determined beamforming direction of the UE and a determined beamforming direction of the respective CP.
