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.

The first wireless device may provide one or more parameters to a second wireless device that indicates a number of antenna elements of one or more of the groups of antenna elements that is used to determine one or more transmission control parameters. The second wireless device may determine one or more transmission control parameters based on the indicated parameters and number of antenna elements, which may be used for communications with the first wireless device.

Wireless communications systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting, to a network unit, a plurality of reference signals, wherein the plurality of reference signals is associated with a first set of phase and gain values to be used with a first antenna array at the UE for uplink transmissions, receiving, from the network unit, signals used to determine calibration coefficients associated with the first set of phase and gain values for the first antenna array, and transmitting, to the network unit, a communication signal based on the calibration coefficients associated with the first set of phase/gain values and calibration coefficients associated with a second set of phase/gain values, wherein the calibration coefficients associated with the second set of phase/gain values are interpolated from the calibration coefficients associated with the first set of phase/gain values.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may detect a material proximate to the UE and may determine one or more properties of the material which may affect beamformed communications. The UE may transmit (e.g., based on the detected material) an indication of a switch from a codebook-based hybrid beamforming procedure to an adaptive beam weight-based hybrid beamforming procedure. The UE may receive, from a network entity, one or more reference signals to use for adaptive beam weight selection in response to the indication of the switch to the adaptive beam weight-based hybrid beamforming procedure. The UE may communicate, with the network entity, in accordance with one or more beam weights selected based on the adaptive beam weight-based hybrid beamforming procedure and the one or more reference signals.

In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) determines that a perception-based approach to adaptive beam weight learning would provide improved performance of wireless communication with a base station over a wireless communication medium relative to non-perception-based approaches to adaptive beam weight learning, and transmits, to a network node, an indication for the base station to perform perception-based adaptive beam weight learning procedures for the wireless communication with the base station over the wireless communication medium.

Signaling for bidirectional perception-assistance

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to signaling between network entities to mitigate, through management of phase shifter or amplitude controller precision, increased interference applied to a network node during uplink beamforming resulting from low phase shift or amplitude control precision. A UE transmits first uplink data in a first beam using a phase shifter or an amplitude controller configured with a first bit precision. The UE receives a message from a network entity indicating to change the first bit precision to a different, second bit precision in response to the first beam interfering with downlink communications from or to a network node. The UE afterwards transmits second uplink data in a second beam using the phase shifter or the amplitude controller reconfigured with the second bit precision. Thus, interference from lower precision phase shifters or amplitude controllers may be avoided.

A machine learning server may generate a low-dimensional parameter set representing training data for the machine learning server, the training data being associated with one or more communication environments or one or more channel environments, or a combination thereof. The machine learning server may receive, from one or more devices within a communication environment or within a channel environment, or both, a low-dimensional parameter set representing testing data associated with the communication environment or the channel environment, or both. The machine learning server may generate a reproducibility metric according to a correlation between the parameter set representing the training data and the parameter set representing the testing data. The machine learning server may transmit a message indicating the reproducibility metric to the one or more devices, and the one or more devices may perform communication procedures based on the reproducibility metric.

Based on determining the state change, the first device may transmit a state change request to the second device. According to the state change request, the second device may perform an adjustment for a set of one or more of its antenna elements. The second device may transmit an indication of an adjustment to the first device, and the first device and the second device may communicate according to the adjustment.

The UE may transmit a report to the base station indicating one or more polarization parameters associated with beam pairs identified in the beam sweep procedure, such as one or more orthogonality parameters, one or more polarization parameters relating to one or more beam pairs, or one or more angular spread parameters. Based on the report, the base station may transmit a beam configuration to the UE for polarization MIMO communications.

The UE may include an initial beamforming codebook configuring a plurality of beam weights intended to cover an in-coverage region corresponding to a boresight direction and a neighborhood thereof of the antenna module. The UE may further configure one or more additional sets of beam weights intended to cover the out-of-coverage region beyond the boresight direction and the neighborhood thereof and then add the one or more additional sets of beam weights to the initial beamforming codebook to produce the enhanced beamforming codebook.
