A wireless device can perform non-line-of-sight detection. The wireless device may establish a wireless link with another wireless device using a wireless channel. The wireless device may perform one or more channel measurements for the wireless channel. The wireless device may determine whether a line-of-sight path is available for the wireless channel based at least in part on the one or more channel measurements. The wireless device may determine whether to trigger beamforming selection, antenna selection, and/or any other link maintenance operations based at least in part on the determined line-of-sight availability.
