Abstract

A device may obtain, from a user equipment (UE), first information relating to one or more signal strengths measured by the UE. A signal strength of the one or more signal strengths may be associated with a beam of a radio node. The device may identify, based on the first information, a particular signal strength that is associated with a particular beam. The device may select, based on the particular beam, one or more related beams that are associated with the particular beam. The one or more related beams may be associated with the particular beam based on historical data relating to historical signal strengths measured by a plurality of UEs. The device may provide, to the UE, second information that identifies the one or more related beams selected, to permit the UE to communicate using the one or more related beams.
