Adaptive configuration of an antenna

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

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the at least one memory, the at least one processor, individually or in any combination, is configured to cause the network node to:
• establish a connection with a user equipment (UE);
• determine a first antenna tilt angle and a first beam width;
• adjust a beam associated with the connection based on the first antenna tilt angle and the first beam width;
• receive a uplink transmission to report an altitude associated with the UE and a metric associated with the connection;
• and
• transmit, for the UE, a downlink transmission based on a second antenna tilt angle and a second beam width, wherein the second antenna tilt angle and the second beam width based on the altitude and the metric.

A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• establishing a connection with a network node based on a first antenna tilt angle and a first beam width;
• transmitting, to the network node, a uplink transmission to report an altitude associated with the UE and a metric associated with the connection;
• and
• receiving, from the network node, a downlink transmission based on a second antenna tilt angle and a second beam width, wherein the second antenna tilt angle and the second beam width based on the altitude and the metric.
