## Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a base station (BS) may determine, for a user equipment (UE) operating in a mobility state, route information. The BS may transmit, to the UE, information identifying a set of beams based at least in part on the route information. The UE may perform a set of neighbor cell measurements, in connection with movement along the predicted route, using the set of beams. Numerous other aspects are provided.
