Beam management on a deactivated cell

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a configuration for a cell from a base station. In some examples, the cell may be deactivated and the base station may configure the cell with one or more base station beams. The UE may receive beam management resources for performing beam management based on the configured base station beams. In some examples, the beam management resources include resources for transmitting or receiving one or more reports indicating a quality of the configured base station beams. The UE may then perform the beam management, while the cell is deactivated, to track one or more UE beams corresponding to the configured base station beams.
