1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
transmitting, in a network including a base station, information indicating a set of capabilities for beamformed communication in a sub-6 gigahertz (GHz) frequency band, the capabilities including one or more of:
a number of transmit and receive beam changes the UE can perform on the sub-6 GHz band within a slot,
a maximum number of configured spatial relations per component carrier for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and sounding reference signal (SRS) on the sub-6 GHz band,
a maximum number of active spatial relations with regard to PUCCH and SRS for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), per bandwidth part (BWP) per component carrier on the sub-6 GHz band, or
support of simultaneous reception with different quasi-co-location (QCL) Type D for use on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) on the sub-6 GHz band;
receiving a beamforming configuration based on the information indicating the set of capabilities;
receiving, from the base station, spatial relationship information or transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state information corresponding to a directional beam at the UE for communication on a first channel; and
applying the directional beam for communication with the base station on another channel in the sub-6 GHz frequency band.
