Associating beam indication with a channel state information (csi) measurement or report

A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving signaling from a network entity associating at least one beam with a channel state information (CSI) measurement or report in the UE;
• receiving a beam indication from the network entity;
• and
• performing at least one of a CSI measurement or CSI measurement and reporting associated with a beam indicated by the beam indication.

An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled with the memory, the memory and the processor configured to:
• receive signaling from a network entity associating at least one beam with a channel state information (CSI) measurement or report in the UE;
• receive a beam indication from the network entity;
• and
• perform at least one of a CSI measurement or CSI measurement and reporting associated with a beam indicated by the beam indication.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a user equipment (UE) cause the UE to:

• receive signaling from a network entity associating at least one beam with a channel state information (CSI) measurement or report in the UE;
• receive a beam indication from the network entity;
• and
• perform at least one of a CSI measurement or CSI measurement and reporting associated with a beam indicated by the beam indication.
