Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for using situational information to aid in beam-based communications between a first user equipment (UE) and a network entity. The first UE may collect data at one or more sensors and may generate the situational information using the collected data. The first UE may then use the situational information in a beam selection procedure to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with the network entity. The first UE may also transmit the situational information to the network entity in a beam management report, and the network entity may use the situational information to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with the first UE. In some cases, the network entity may also use the situational information to identify suitable candidate beams for communicating with a second UE associated with the first UE.
