Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus relating to minimizing interference by controlling beam width of a wireless device. In certain aspects, a method of minimizing interference by controlling beam width of a wireless device, such as a user equipment (UE), includes configuring antenna elements of the UE to communicate in a serving cell using a first beam, monitoring a channel quality metric in the serving cell, and re-configuring the antenna elements of the UE to perform mobility measurements of one or more neighboring cells using a second beam broader than the first beam if the metric falls below a threshold value.
