Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device may support beamformed communications, which may be implemented via reflection from environmental clusters, assistance from relays, repeaters, reconfigurable intelligence surface nodes, or some combination thereof. The communication device may partition a packet into multiple subpackets, where the communication device may assign one or more subpackets to one or more beams within a set of beams for beamformed communications. That is, the communication device may split the packet across the set of beams used for beamformed communications with another communication device. The subpackets may not be decodable independently. As such, the communication device may indicate which beams correspond to which subpackets to enable concatenation and decoding at the other communication device.
