1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
determining a plurality of antenna configurations for a plurality of channel frequencies, each of the plurality of antenna configurations being associated with a corresponding antenna panel angle;
determining a set of signal strengths for at least one reference signal received from a base station (BS) at one or more antenna configurations of the plurality of antenna configurations for at least one of the channel frequencies;
selecting, based on the set of signal strengths, a first antenna configuration of the plurality of antenna configurations, the first antenna configuration being associated with a first antenna panel angle;
setting, based on the first antenna configuration, an antenna panel of the UE to orient to a first spatial direction;
performing, by the UE, a set of measurements for one or more millimeter wave (mmW) channel frequencies based on the first antenna configuration; and
transmitting, to the BS based on the first antenna configuration and the set of measurements, a measurement report.
