Beam report triggers autonomous beam hopping

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

• measuring a reference signal received power (RSRP) of a current beam and at least one beam;
• selecting a beam mode for communication with a base station based on an RSRP report of the current beam and the at least one beam;
• providing, to the base station, the RSRP report of the current beam and the at least one beam, wherein the RSRP report comprises an indication indicating the beam mode selected by the UE;
• and
• communicating with the base station based on a selected beam mode.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• receive, from a user equipment (UE), a reference signal received power (RSRP) report of a current beam and at least one beam, wherein the RSRP report comprises an indication indicating a beam mode selected by the UE;
• select the beam mode for communication with the UE based on the RSRP report of the current beam and the at least one beam;
• and
• communicate with the UE based on a selected beam mode.
