1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
measuring a beam, according to a measurement configuration, of a candidate cell for connectivity to determine a channel condition value of the beam;
modifying the channel condition value by adding a beamforming gain value to the channel condition value based at least in part on at least one of one or more beam characterizations, a derivation of the beamforming gain value, or an estimation of the beamforming gain value; and
transmitting, to a network entity, a measurement report indicating the modified channel condition value.
