1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
receiving, at a user equipment (UE), an identification signal from a serving base station identifying one or more reference signals for pathloss measurement,
the one or more reference signals including a subset of reference signals,
each reference signal of the subset having one of a beamforming gain above a threshold gain value or a downlink beamforming gain within a predetermined range of an uplink beamforming gain;
wherein the one or more reference signals identified by the identification signal includes one of: new radio (NR) synchronization signals (NR-SS); or channel state information (CSI) reference signals (CSI-RS);
measuring, by the UE, a pathloss on the one or more reference signals identified by the identification signal;
comparing, by the UE, the pathloss to a threshold trigger value; and
activating, by the UE, power headroom reporting in response to the pathloss exceeding the threshold trigger value.
