Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), generally including outputting, for transmission, a first channel prediction report based on measurements of first reference signals (RS) associated with a first beam; outputting, for transmission, a beam prediction report indicating a second beam; outputting, for transmission before a predicted application time for the second beam, a second channel prediction report based on measurements of second RS associated with the second beam, said second channel prediction report indicating a precoder; and obtaining a beamformed transmission based on the second beam and the precoder.
