Dynamic beam management for wireless communications

A method for wireless communications, comprising:

• indicating, by a first base station, one or more beam management configurations to a user equipment (UE), the one or more beam management configurations being for managing a beam based communication by the UE with the first base station;
• identifying, at the first base station, a first beam management configuration for managing a beam-based communication with the UE;
• determining a configuration change trigger for triggering a change from the first beam management configuration to a second beam management configuration;
• modifying a beam management configuration for communications with the UE according to the second beam management configuration based at least in part on the configuration change trigger;
• and
• communicating with the UE using beam-based communications in accordance with the beam management configuration at the first base station and one of the one or more beam management configurations indicated to the UE.

An apparatus for wireless communications, comprising:

• a processor,
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, at a user equipment (UE), an indication of one or more beam management configurations from a first base station, the one or more beam management configurations being for managing a beam based communication with the first base station;
• identify, at the UE, a first beam management configuration from the one or more beam management configurations;
• determine, by the UE, a configuration change trigger for triggering a change from the first beam management configuration to a second beam management configuration from the one or more beam management configurations;
• modify a beam management configuration of the UE according to the second beam management configuration based at least in part on the configuration change trigger;
• and
• communicate with the first base station using beam-based communications in accordance with the beam management configuration.
