Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may obtain per-beam, per-component carrier measurements for unique combinations of beams and component carriers supported by the UE. The UE may select a first beam that has a highest per-beam, per-component carrier measurement across all component carriers. In addition, the UE may determine a set of candidate beams based on the measurements. The beams included in the set of candidate beams may have per-beam, per-component carrier measurements within some defined value of the measurements corresponding to the first beam. The UE may select an active beam from the set of candidate beams based on an average per-beam, per-component carrier measurement or a difference between maximum and minimum per-beam, per-component carrier measurements of each candidate beam across all component carriers. The UE may communicate with the network entity using the active beam.

User equipment beam selection and refinement for carrier aggregation

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may perform first measurements associated with secondary component carriers (SCCs) for downlink and perform second measurements associated with beams. The UE may select a downlink SCC in frequency range 2 (FR2) as a first anchor CC with a primary component carrier (PCC) from frequency range 1 (FR1), from the SCCs for downlink, based on the first measurements, in combination with a downlink beam based on the second measurements. The UE may perform third measurements associated with SCCs for uplink and perform fourth measurements associated with the beams. The UE may select an uplink SCC in FR2 as a second anchor CC with the PCC from FR1, from the SCCs for uplink, based on the third measurements, in combination with an uplink beam based on the fourth measurements. Numerous other aspects are described.
