Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An interfering base station may transmit to a neighboring base station a configuration to measure beam resources for a plurality of PAPR reduction beams. The neighboring base station may forward this measurement configuration to an associated UE. The UE may then take measurements of the interfering base station's PAPR reduction beams in accordance with the configuration and transmit the report to its serving base station. The neighboring base station may then compile a headroom report and transmit the headroom report to the interfering base station. The interfering base station may then adjust its PAPR reduction beams based on the headroom report.
