1. A method of wireless communication performed by a wireless node, comprising:
transmitting, to another wireless node, information related to one or more properties of a first antenna array associated with the wireless node;
receiving, from the other wireless node, information related to one or more properties of a second antenna array associated with the other wireless node; and
communicating with the other wireless node over a wireless link using one or more beams associated with an operating frequency, wherein the operating frequency is based at least in part on the one or more properties of the first antenna array, the one or more properties of the second antenna array, and a value determined based at least in part on one or more structural parameters, wherein the one or more structural parameters include at least one of: uncorrelatedness between antenna elements in the respective antenna arrays, power issues, thermal issues, or radio frequency integrated circuit design constraints.
