1. A method of operating a first wireless device, comprising:
determining that a first beam of the first wireless device is associated with a receive direction and that a second beam is associated with a transmit direction;
determining null-forming procedure information associated with null-forming at the first wireless device, the null-forming associated with steering the first beam, the second beam, or both, away from one or more external objects associated with self-interference at the first wireless device, the null-forming procedure information (i) based on one or more measurements performed at the first wireless device, (ii) received from a first network entity, or (iii) a combination thereof;
selecting, based on the null-forming procedure information, whether to perform a receive null-forming procedure on the first beam, a transmit null-forming procedure on the second beam, or a combination thereof; and
performing the selected null-forming procedure.
