Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for the UE to minimize the need to expend resources in conducting signal measurements for SCell by limiting the number of beams that may be scanned and reported back to the network. For example, in instances when the UE has been configured with an active transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state by the network, the UE may be configured to communicate on a limited set of beams (e.g., one beam for transmission (Tx) and another for receiver (Rx)). As such, the UE, during the periodic measurements, may limit the signal measurements to a limited set of beams from all available beams in order to conserve resources based on a determination that the UE is configured with TCI state.
