System and method for controlling beam type in signal transmission

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• means for selecting one of a first beam or a second beam that is wider than the first beam for transmission of an uplink signal based on a power spectrum density (PSD), wherein the first beam or the second beam is selected when the PSD is greater than at least one threshold and wherein the second beam is selected when the PSD is less than the at least one threshold, the PSD being based on a transmission power and a bandwidth associated with the transmission of the uplink signal;
• and
• means for transmitting the uplink signal using the selected one of the first beam or the second beam.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), the code when executed by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to, individually or in combination:

• select one of a first beam or a second beam that is wider than the first beam for transmission of an uplink signal based on a power spectrum density (PSD), wherein the first beam or the second beam is selected when the PSD is greater than at least one threshold and wherein the second beam is selected when the PSD is less than the at least one threshold, the PSD being based on a transmission power and a bandwidth associated with the transmission of the uplink signal;
• and
• transmit the uplink signal using the selected one of the first beam or the second beam.
