    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE). The UE transmits capability information corresponding to one or more antenna modules of the UE to a network entity. The capability information may include a quantity of boresight directions associated with each antenna module of the one or more antenna modules. The UE may receive from the network entity, after the capability information is transmitted, an indication of a beam switch and/or an antenna module switch. The beam switch indicates a switch from an active beam to a target beam. The antenna module switch indicates a switch from an active antenna module to a target antenna module.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a network node, a polarization performance loss indication that is indicative of a loss in polarization performance based on transitioning from a first operating state associated with a first frequency range to a second operating state associated with a second frequency range, wherein the first operating state corresponds to a first antenna configuration and the second operating state corresponds to a second antenna configuration, wherein the first antenna configuration corresponds to a first antenna orientation and the second antenna configuration corresponds to a second antenna orientation. The UE may receive, from the network node, configuration information indicative of at least one communication parameter associated with the at least one antenna array and based on the polarization performance loss indication. Numerous other aspects are described.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may transmit, to another wireless node, information related to one or more properties of a first antenna array associated with the wireless node. The wireless node may receive, from the other wireless node, information related to one or more properties of a second antenna array associated with the other wireless node. The wireless node may communicate with the other wireless node over a wireless link using one or more beams associated with an operating frequency, wherein the operating frequency is based at least in part on the one or more properties of the first antenna array and the one or more properties of the second antenna array. Numerous other aspects are described.

    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: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may include an L shaped antenna module, which may include a first array of antenna elements in one dimension and a second array of antenna elements in a second dimension. In an L shaped antenna module, antenna element configurations may be used that combine antenna elements across the two sides of the “L”. In some aspects, a UE may dynamically select a configuration of antenna elements of an L shaped antenna module to enhance performance and power consumption. In some aspects, the UE may select whether to use a cross-polarization configuration or a co-polar configuration for the L shaped antenna module.
