Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station such as a eNodeB (eNB), a next-generation NodeB or giga-NodeB (either of which may be referred to as a gNB)), an indication of a value of a channel quality parameter of a wireless link including a first beam pair between the UE and the base station. The UE may also transmit, to the base station, side information different from and in addition to the indication of the value of the channel quality information, and receive, in response to the transmitted indication of the value and the transmitted side information, an indication of resources for the UE to use to communicate on the wireless link.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for a user equipment (UE) to receive a message including transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states information associated with beam information for uplink or downlink resources. The UE may identify multiple channels or reference signals, or both, to which a TCI state is to be applied based on associated indications included with the TCI state information. In some examples, the TCI state information may also include indications of source reference signals for quasi co-location (QCL) assumptions for the indicated channels or reference signals. Based on applying the TCI state, the UE may determine beam information for uplink or downlink resources and may communicate with the base station accordingly.

In 5G/6G wireless networks, a user device and a base station may transmit and receive messages unidirectionally, using directional antennas, and may thereby provide sufficient reception while saving energy and time. A user device can determine its own location and the location of the base station, calculate an angle toward the base station, and thereby transmit a narrow-beam message to the base station. The message may indicate the user device's location so that the base station can direct its transmission and reception beam toward the user device. The user device and the base station can then transmit and receive messages unidirectionally for improved energy efficiency, improved reception, and reduced interference generation. In addition, a mobile user device can indicate its speed and direction of travel, so that the base station or other user devices can calculate the changing angle and direction toward the other, and may thereby redirect their transmission and reception beams toward the other, without the need for frequent location messages or beam scanning.

Base stations and user devices can transmit 5G and 6G messages with a wide range of transmission power levels. Selecting the appropriate power level for each message is a complex problem, dependent on the distance to the recipient, the background noise and interference level, priority, and many other conflicting factors. To provide an objective recommendation of the transmitter power level, an artificial intelligence model may be trained, using actual network and message parameters, to accurately predict the subsequent network performance versus power level. Then, a practical algorithm may be derived from the trained AI model, and used by base stations and user devices to select an appropriate transmission power level according to current network conditions and message properties. Use of an appropriate transmission power level for each message may reduce message faults, enhance reliability, mitigate external noise and interference, and save energy especially for battery-operated user devices.
