User equipment based beam measurement resource activation

A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:

• receiving an activation signal associated with requesting activation of beam measurement resources associated with performing beam management,
• wherein the activation signal is transmitted by a user equipment (UE), and
• wherein the activation signal indicates a number of communication cycles during which the beam measurement resources are to be activated;
• and
• activating one or more of the beam management resources based at least in part on the activation signal.

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• determine that beam measurement resources, associated with performing beam management, are to be activated;
• and
• transmit an activation signal associated with requesting activation of the beam measurement resources, wherein the activation signal indicates a number of communication cycles during which the beam measurement resources are to be activated.
