Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication includes receiving, by a first wireless device, beamforming information from a station over a period of time, the beamforming information including a feedback signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value and compressed feedback matrix. The method also includes determining one or more SNR gradient metrics for the station based at least in part on the received feedback SNR values and the received compressed feedback matrices.
