17. A scheduled entity in a wireless communication network, the scheduled entity comprising:
a transceiver for wireless communication with a scheduling entity;
memory; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the transceiver and the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
communicate with the scheduling entity in a full duplex mode configured for concurrent transmission and reception within an overlapping bandwidth;
for each of one or more uplink beams, obtain beam quality measurements, each corresponding to a respective downlink beam of a plurality of downlink beams;
for each of the one or more uplink beams, identify a set of usable downlink beams of the plurality of downlink beams based on the beam quality measurements;
transmit a report to the scheduling entity indicating the set of usable downlink beams for at least one uplink beam of the one or more uplink beams via the transceiver;
identify a selected uplink beam of the one or more uplink beams; and
receive a downlink signal from the scheduling entity on a usable downlink beam within the set of usable downlink beams corresponding to the selected uplink beam.
