Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which measurements of a number of beams that are transmitted from a first device, measured at a second device are provided in a beam switch metric report from the second device. The beam switch metric report may provide the first device with information that is otherwise unavailable to the first device and that may be used for setting beam management parameters.
Claims10
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors being configured to:
- identify a plurality of receive beams associated with a second device, each of the plurality of receive beams of the second device having a different transmission configuration indicator state and a different direction relative to the second device;
- determine, based at least in part on the plurality of receive beams of the second device, one or more beam switch metrics for determining a beam switch periodicity for switching the second device between two or more of the plurality of receive beams;
- and
- transmit a report to a first device or a third device that indicates the one or more beam switch metrics.
