Original Abstract Submitted
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit a measurement report indicating a plurality of candidate beam pairs for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication with a network node, wherein the plurality of candidate beam pairs includes a first beam pair and a second beam pair, wherein each beam of the plurality of candidate beam pairs has a spatial characteristic and a polarization characteristic. The UE may receive a MIMO configuration for the first beam pair and the second beam pair, wherein a beam of the second beam pair is outside a beam avoidance region, wherein the beam avoidance region is defined based at least in part on the spatial characteristic of a beam of the first beam pair. Numerous other aspects are described.
