Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling identifying, for multiple beams, a set of quantized values for beam measurement reporting. The UE may receive a set of reference signals and each reference signal may be associated with a beam of the multiple beams. The UE may transmit a report indicating a set of power values that are based on the set of quantized values and the set of reference signals. Each power value of the set of power values may be associated with a respective beam of the multiple beams. The control signaling may also indicate a set of rules for vector-based beam management reporting for the multiple beams. The report may include a vector report and may indicate the set of power values based on the set of rules and the set of reference signals.
