Measurement report payload reduction techniques

A method for wireless communication at a radio access network (RAN) node, the method comprising:

• transmitting two or more report settings for a measurement report to a wireless communication device, each of the two or more report settings being associated with a respective type selected from at least a first type indicating to include respective beam identifiers corresponding to beam measurements in the measurement report or a second type indicating to exclude the respective beam identifiers in the measurement report;
• and
• receiving the measurement report based on a first report setting of the two or more report settings and a second report setting of the two or more report settings from the wireless communication device, the measurement report comprising:
• first information comprising first beam measurements in accordance with the first report setting, each of the first beam measurements corresponding to one of a first set of a plurality of beams configured for communication with the wireless communication device, and
• second information comprising second beam measurements in accordance with the second report setting, each of the second beam measurements corresponding to one of a second set of the plurality of beams.

A wireless communication device, comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a memory comprising instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the instructions to cause the wireless communication device to:
• receive, via the transceiver, two or more report settings for a measurement report from a radio access network (RAN) node, each of the two or more report settings being associated with a respective type of at least a first type indicating to include respective beam identifiers corresponding to beam measurements in the measurement report or a second type indicating to exclude the respective beam identifiers in the measurement report;
• and
• transmit, via the transceiver the measurement report to the RAN node, the measurement report comprising:
• first information comprising first beam measurements in accordance with a first report setting of the two or more report settings, each of the first beam measurements corresponding to one of a first set of a plurality of beams configured for communication with the RAN node, and
• second information comprising second beam measurements in accordance with a second report setting of the two or more report settings, each of the second beam measurements corresponding to one of a second set of the plurality of beams.
