Beam selection techniques for wireless communications

A user equipment (UE), comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the UE to:
• receive configuration information that indicates a set of reference signal resources and a random access resource associated with each reference signal resource of the set of reference signal resources;
• select a first random access resource based at least in part on one or more measured channel parameters of a first reference signal resource of the set of reference signal resources;
• and
• transmit a random access message using the first random access resource.

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

• receiving a set of reference locations for a set of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) transmitted by a network entity, each SSB of the set of SSBs associated with one or more reference locations of the set of reference locations, and each reference location associated with a random access resource of a set of random access resources;
• selecting a first random access resource of the set of random access resources based at least in part on a first location of the UE corresponding to a first reference location and on one or more measured channel parameters of a first SSB associated with the first reference location;
• and
• transmitting a random access message using the first random access resource.
