Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support enhanced beam management using extended reality (XR) perception data. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes establishing a communication connection between a user equipment (UE) and a serving base station using a current serving beam selected by the UE from a plurality of available beams paired with a serving base station beam. The method further includes obtaining, perception information from one or more extended reality sensors associated with the UE and determining, in response to detection of UE movement, a transpositional representation of the movement using the perception information. The UE may then select a new serving beam in accordance with the transpositional representation. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
