1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving a set of reference signals from a base station, each reference signal of the set of reference signals spanning a channel and associated with one transmit beam of a set of transmit beams from the base station, wherein the channel comprises a plurality of subbands;
selecting, at the UE, a value of a first quantity of the plurality of subbands of the channel for which the UE is to obtain and transmit measured signal powers, wherein individual ones of the plurality of subbands have different subband sizes;
measuring a signal power of each of the first quantity of the plurality of subbands; and
transmitting, to the base station, an indication of at least a first signal power associated with a first subband of the first quantity of the plurality of subbands and a first transmit beam of the set of transmit beams.
