Techniques for channel state information reference signal-based user equipment beam selection

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• identify one or more parameters associated with a communication link;
• enable, based at least in part on the identified one or more parameters, channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)-based UE beam selection;
• receive a set of CSI-RSs;
• and
• select a UE beam based at least in part on the CSI-RSs.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
• identify one or more parameters associated with a communication link;
• enable, based at least in part on the identified one or more parameters, channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)-based UE beam selection;
• receive a set of CSI-RSs;
• and
• select a UE beam based at least in part on the CSI-RSs.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for identifying one or more parameters associated with a communication link;
• means for enabling, based at least in part on the identified one or more parameters, channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)-based UE beam selection;
• means for receiving a set of CSI-RSs;
• and
• means for selecting a UE beam based at least in part on the CSI-RSs.
