    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a first device and a second device may communicate over a communication link using a set of antenna elements. The first device may identify one or more antenna array reconfiguration trigger conditions and may correspondingly select a first subset of antenna elements for operation. The first device may transmit a message to the second device including an indication of the antenna array reconfiguration at the first device, a request for the second device to modify the second device's antenna array configuration, or both. The second device may receive the message and, based on the indication or the request, may modify its antenna array configuration. For example, the second device may select a second subset of antenna elements based on the selected first subset of antenna elements. The devices may communicate using their modified antenna array configurations.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a wideband antenna comprising a dielectric-loaded cavity-backed patch antenna driven with a stripline. The antenna includes a dielectric resonator. The stripline feeds a probe disposed within the dielectric resonator. The probe emits EM radiation, which is coupled to the patch antenna for transmission.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A codebook adaptation may be performed for a flexible user equipment (UEs) to determine a codebook for a physical configuration of the UE. For example, if the UE determines that the physical configuration does not correspond to a pre-loaded codebook in its memory, the UE may provide information about the physical configuration to a base station to determine a corresponding codebook. Additionally, the UE may request that the base station provide channel information to assist with the codebook determination. In some cases, this request may indicate for the base station to allocate a specific number of channel state information reference signal symbols that the UE can use for the codebook determination. Additionally or alternatively, the UE may generate the codebook internally and then signal to the base station a request for a beam refinement procedure with the generated codebook.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a network node may communicate, using a first set of active antenna elements of an antenna array, during a first time period. The network node may activate a second set of active antenna elements based on a dynamic antenna set switching scheme, wherein the second set of active antenna elements includes at least one active antenna element not included in the first set, wherein a difference between a first main lobe property and a second main lobe property satisfies a main lobe threshold, and wherein a difference between a first side lobe property and a second side lobe property satisfies a side lobe threshold. The network node may communicate, using the second set of active antenna elements, during a second time period. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, and a base station may receive, information related to multipath richness of a channel environment and information related to antenna module capabilities associated with the UE for at least a first frequency band and a second frequency band. The base station may transmit, and the UE may receive, information indicating a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) mode in which to operate one or more antenna modules of the UE based at least in part on the information related to the multipath richness of the channel environment, the antenna module capabilities associated with the UE, and respective cell loadings in the first frequency band and the second frequency band.
