1. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
determining that one or more of a current UE data rate and a current UE power usage are different from, respectively, a preferred UE data rate and a preferred UE power usage;
dynamically determining a preferred number of receive (Rx) beams to use for an Rx beam sweep at the UE based on one or more of the preferred data rate and the preferred power usage, wherein the preferred number of Rx beams is greater than eight;
signaling, to a base station, the preferred number of Rx beams; and
signaling, to the base station, that the UE is configured to perform the Rx beam sweep using one of a vertical polarization, a horizontal polarization, and both the vertical polarization and the horizontal polarization.
