1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, at the UE from a network entity, a configuration message indicating a plurality of resources for a plurality of sub-bands configured for a carrier bandwidth;
receiving, at the UE from the network entity, a plurality of reference signals across the carrier bandwidth comprising the plurality of sub-bands, wherein a first reference signal of the plurality of reference signals is received in a first sub-band of the plurality of sub-bands and a second reference signal of the plurality of reference signals is received in a second sub-band of the plurality of sub-bands different from the first sub-band, and wherein the first reference signal and the second reference signal at least partially overlap in time;
measuring, for the plurality of reference signals, a plurality of signal measurement values corresponding to the plurality of sub-bands;
determining a plurality of communication beams for the plurality of sub-bands based at least in part on the plurality of signal measurement values, wherein a first communication beam of the plurality of communication beams is determined for the first sub-band and a second communication beam different from the first communication beam is determined for the second sub-band; and
communicating with the network entity in the carrier bandwidth based at least in part on the determined plurality of communication beams.
