Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may identify a collective antenna array that includes both a downlink antenna array and an uplink antenna array for communications with a second wireless device. Accordingly, the first wireless device and the second wireless device may perform a beam training procedure on the collective antenna array, and the first wireless device may then use beam weights identified for the collective antenna array as the beam weights for the specific downlink antenna array and the uplink antenna array. For example, the first wireless device and the second wireless device may perform downlink beam training to obtain a best downlink receive beam to use and then determine an uplink transmit beam to use based on the downlink receive beam.
