1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a processor;
memory coupled with the processor; and
instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
receive, via a first physical layer channel, a control message identifying a configuration for a second physical layer channel dedicated to beam management information;
receive, via the second physical layer channel dedicated to the beam management information according to the configuration, an indication of one or more beam management parameters for the UE to use to identify a first beam for communications with a network node; and
communicate with the network node using the first beam identified by the UE in accordance with the one or more beam management parameters received via the second physical layer channel dedicated to the beam management information.
