1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause a processing circuitry to:
process first information, received at a first node of a wireless cellular network, indicating at least one of an orientation of a second node of the wireless cellular network, a speed of the second node, or a direction of movement of the second node;
based on the first information, determine a first beam width;
generate a first data transmission to be transmitted to the second node over a first beam that is based on the first beam width;
receive, from the second node, a request indicating a requested beam width change;
based on the requested beam width change, determine a second beam width; and
generate a second data transmission to be transmitted to the second node over a second beam that is based on the second beam width.
