Beam measurement reporting for aerial user equipment

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• receive an indication of a first set of reference signals and an indication of a first subset, of the first set of reference signals, that is associated with one or more uptilt antennas of a network, wherein the indication of the first set of reference signals includes a first plurality of bits, the indication of the first subset of the first set of reference signals includes a second plurality of bits, and the second plurality of bits includes a set of activated bits that is a subset of activated bits included in the first plurality of bits;
• and
• transmit a report based at least in part on the indication.

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

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• transmit an indication of a first set of reference signals and an indication of a first subset, of the first set of reference signals, that is associated with one or more uptilt antennas of the network node, wherein the indication of the first set of reference signals includes a first plurality of bits, the indication of the first subset of the first set of reference signals includes a second plurality of bits, and the second plurality of bits includes a set of activated bits that is a subset of activated bits included in the first plurality of bits;
• and
• receive a report based at least in part on the indication.
