1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
transmit, to a network entity, an indication of whether the UE is capable of performing a perception-assisted beam management procedure and an indication of an estimation error associated with adaptive beam weights associated with the perception-assisted beam management procedure, wherein the perception-assisted beam management procedure is associated with an adaptive beam weight learning procedure for hybrid beamforming at the UE, performed in both the digital and analog domains, that includes selecting a beam from a region of interest that most closely aligns with the adaptive beam weights; and
receive, from the network entity, a configuration indicating whether the UE should perform the perception-assisted beam management procedure based at least in part on the indication of whether the UE is capable of performing the perception-assisted beam management procedure and on the indication of the estimation error associated with the adaptive beam weights.
