Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. For example, a user equipment (UE) may determine a probability of each beam in an initial set of candidate beams being a target beam (for example, a best beam given current channel conditions) according to a current source beam and one or more parameters that relate to a propagation path from a transmitter to the UE. Accordingly, the UE may select, among the beams in the initial set of candidate beams, a set of candidate beams to measure in a beam management procedure according to the respective probabilities of each candidate beam being the target beam, which may reduce power consumption at the UE, reduce a beam selection or beam switching latency, and/or improve performance associated with beamformed communications.
