Techniques for directional signal strength indication and beam-specific measurement threshold

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

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors configured to:
• receive configuration information for a received signal strength indication (RSSI) measurement, the configuration information indicating a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state configuration for the RSSI measurement, wherein the TCI state configuration corresponds to a receive beam of the UE, and wherein the configuration information further indicates a measurement duration for an averaged value of the RSSI measurement, wherein the measurement duration is indicated as at least 84 measurement symbols;
• perform the RSSI measurement on the receive beam based at least in part on the TCI state configuration;
• and
• transmit a measurement report of the RSSI measurement.

A base station for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors configured to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information for a received signal strength indication (RSSI) measurement, the configuration information indicating a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state configuration for the RSSI measurement, wherein the TCI state configuration corresponds to a receive beam of the UE, and wherein the configuration information further indicates a measurement duration for an averaged value of the RSSI measurement, wherein the measurement duration is indicated as at least 84 measurement symbols;
• and
• receive a measurement report of the RSSI measurement, the TCI state configuration.
