1. A method of wireless communication for a base station, the method comprising:
communicating data with a user equipment (UE) through an active beam;
transmitting, to the UE through the active beam and via a downlink radio resource control (RRC) message, control information indicating a periodicity at which uplink control information different from the data is to be communicated on a control channel through a control- information beam, the uplink control information including an indication of quality associated with the active beam; and
receiving, from the UE, the uplink control information on the control channel through the control-information beam at the periodicity, the control-information beam being different from the active beam.
