1. A user equipment, comprising:
a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
determining, based on user equipment state data representative of a state of the user equipment, beam sweeping request data representative of a subgroup of available beams, of a group of beams, usable by a base station in a request for delivery of other system information block data by the base station, wherein the other system information block data is other than data contained in minimum system information block data, wherein the user equipment state data includes mobility data corresponding to a mobility of the user equipment and respective signal strength data of at least one respective beam detected by the user equipment, wherein the beam sweeping request data is determined based on a mathematical function utilizing the mobility data and the respective signal strength data; and
sending, to network equipment, the request for the delivery of the other system information block data, the request associated with the beam sweeping request data.
