30 Claims

1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

reporting first beam measurement results based on a measurement database, the measurement database storing data indicating that a first UE receive beam has a highest beam measurement;

performing a first beam-sweeping procedure according to a first order of beam measurements;

responsive to a second UE receive beam having the highest beam measurement based on the first beam-sweeping procedure, initiating a second beam-sweeping procedure according to a second order of beam measurements different from the first order of beam measurements, wherein the second UE receive beam is measured first in the second order of beam measurements;

updating the measurement database to store data indicating that the second UE receive beam has the highest beam measurement; and

reporting second beam measurement results based on the measurement database updated according to the second order of beam measurements.
