1. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
communicating on a current uplink (UL) beam, wherein the current UL beam is associated with a current beamforming direction;
identifying a first UL beam having a higher effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) capability than a current beam EIRP capability associated with the current UL beam when an amount of data in a buffer of the UE is greater than a data threshold, the data threshold being greater than zero bytes; and
transmitting an UL communication on the first UL beam.
