Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication that beam switching without an explicit beam indication or activation is allowed. The UE may transmit a channel state information (CSI) report identifying a selected beam. The UE may selectively switch to the selected beam in accordance with the indication. Numerous other aspects are described.
