    Abstract: Some techniques and apparatuses described herein permit a user equipment (UE) to signal a capability corresponding to a number of active beams (e.g., active uplink beams) to a base station so that the UE may be appropriately configured, and so that the UE may communicate with the base station accordingly. Furthermore, some techniques and apparatuses described herein permit a UE and/or a base station to apply one or more rules and/or conditions to assist with ensuring that a UE capability, corresponding to a number of active beams (e.g., active uplink beams), is not violated, or to prevent the UE from communicating on a beam that is invalid due to a violated UE capability. Furthermore, some techniques and apparatuses described herein permit a UE and a base station to perform a beam management procedure upon beam activation to ensure that a beam is of sufficient quality for communications.

    Abstract: An apparatus may be a user equipment (UE) or a component thereof. The apparatus may be configured to generate measurement information corresponding to a set of signals received from a base station, wherein the set of signals corresponds to a set of beams. The apparatus may be further configured to generate, based on the measurement information, first predicted information, wherein the first predicted information corresponds to at least one beam with which to communicate with the base station. The apparatus may be further configured to determine, based on the first predicted information, that one or more conditions are satisfied. The apparatus may be further configured to transmit, to the base station based on the determination, a first report including second predicted information, wherein the second predicted information includes the first predicted information or the second predicted information is a subset of the first predicted information.

    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a user equipment (UE), a base station, or a component thereof. The apparatus may be configured to obtain, using a function, predicted information based on a first set of signals received from a base station via a first subset of a set of beams; determine, based on the predicted information, whether at least one condition associated with the predicted information is satisfied; generate, when the at least one condition is satisfied, beam information associated with at least one first beam of the set of beams based on a second set of signals received from the base station via a second subset of the set of beams; and transmit, to the base station, a report including the beam information.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first user equipment (UE) may receive a control signal that indicates one or more parameters for a beam failure reporting procedure. The beam failure reporting procedure may be associated with a multi-path wireless connection for the first UE, which may include a first link between the first UE and a network entity and a second link between the first UE and a second UE. The first UE may monitor, as part of a multi-path beam failure recovery procedure, the first link for one or more signals associated with beam failure detection based on receiving the control signal. The first UE may transmit, via the first link or the second link, one or more messages in accordance with the beam failure reporting procedure based on monitoring. The one or more messages may include information associated with the one or more parameters.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for standalone sidelink beam failure recovery. A method performed by a first user equipment includes communicating, while operating in a sidelink discontinuous reception (DRX) mode, with a second UE on a first communications link between the first UE and the second UE; transmitting, during an awake state of the sidelink DRX mode, at least one beam failure detection reference signal of a plurality of beam failure detection reference signals associated with the first communications link, wherein a periodicity of the awake state of the sidelink DRX mode is based on a periodicity for transmitting the plurality of beam failure detection reference signals; and detecting that the first communications link between the first UE and the second UE has failed based on the at least one beam failure detection reference signal.
