Communications using multiple distance-dependent analog beamforming codebooks

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• transmit a control message indicating a synchronization signal block (SSB) burst set;
• transmit, using a first codebook configured for beamforming at a first transmission distance range, a first set of SSBs of the SSB burst set via a first plurality of transmit beams;
• transmit, using a second codebook configured for beamforming at a second transmission distance range, a second set of SSBs of the SSB burst set via a second plurality of transmit beams;
• and
• receive, from a user equipment (UE) and based at least in part on transmitting the first set of SSBs and the second set of SSBs, an indication of a first SSB from the first set of SSBs or the second set of SSBs.

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

• receiving, from a network entity, a control message indicating a synchronization signal block (SSB) burst set;
• receiving a first set of SSBs of the SSB burst set associated with a first plurality of transmit beams at the network entity, the first set of SSBs associated with a first codebook configured for beamforming at a first transmission distance range;
• receiving a second set of SSBs of the SSB burst set associated with a second plurality of transmit beams at the network entity, the second set of SSBs associated with a second codebook configured for beamforming at a second transmission distance range;
• and
• transmitting, to the network entity and based at least in part on receiving the first set of SSBs and the second set of SSBs, an indication of a first SSB from the first set of SSBs or the second set of SSBs.
