Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a set of recommended base station transmit beams for full duplex operation based at least in part on measurements of a set of base station transmit beams and measurements of self-interference associated with the set of base station transmit beams. The UE may transmit a report that indicates a recommendation to use one or more of the set of recommended base station transmit beams for full duplex operation. Numerous other aspects are described.
