Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a UE may communicate via a serving beam set of the UE, the serving beam set being one or more of a plurality of beams. The UE may measure another beam set in accordance with a measurement schedule configured to prioritize measurement on one or more adjacent beam sets associated with the serving beam set over one or more non-adjacent beam sets associated with the serving beam set. In some aspects, the one or more adjacent beam sets may be associated with one or more coverage areas that at least partially overlap a coverage area of the serving beam set, are adjacent to the coverage area of the serving beam set, or are associated with a measurement value that satisfies a threshold in the coverage area of the serving beam set. Numerous other aspects are provided.
