Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may communicate with a second wireless device using a first set of beams including a first beam and a second beam, where the first and second beams are generated via first and second sets of antenna elements, respectively. The first wireless device may compare a first power associated with the first beam and a second power associated with the second beam, and may determine that at least one antenna element from the first set of antenna elements, the second set of antenna elements, or both, is defective based on the comparison. The first wireless device may switch from the first set of beams to a second set of beams based on the at least one antenna element being defective, and communicate with the second wireless device using the second set of beams.
