Beam gain signaling

1. A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving a first transmission from a base station over a first directional beam;

receiving, from the base station, an indication of an equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) relationship between the first transmission and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

receiving the PDSCH from the base station over a second directional beam using the EIRP relationship.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing automatic gain control to receive the PDSCH using the EIRP relationship indicated by the base station.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the UE sets the automatic gain control based on the EIRP relationship indicated by the base station.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing channel estimation to receive the PDSCH using the EIRP relationship indicated by the base station.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EIRP relationship is based on an antenna gain value of the base station used for transmission to the UE, a first transmission power for the first transmission and a second transmission power for the PDSCH.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the antenna gain value is based on at least one of:

a precoding for the PDSCH,

an antenna beam pattern used in a transmission for the UE,

an estimated pathloss for communication with the UE, or

uplink channel measurements for the UE.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission and the PDSCH are received in Frequency Range 1 (FR1), and wherein the first directional beam is wider than the second directional beam.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission comprises a synchronization signal block (SSB), and the EIRP relationship includes an EIRP ratio between the SSB and the PDSCH or an EIRP offset between the SSB and the PDSCH.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission comprises a tracking reference signal (TRS), and the EIRP relationship includes an EIRP ratio between the TRS and the PDSCH or an EIRP offset between the TRS and the PDSCH.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission comprises a prior PDSCH transmission, and the EIRP relationship includes an EIRP ratio between the prior PDSCH transmission and the PDSCH or an EIRP offset between the prior PDSCH transmission and the PDSCH.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission comprises a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), and the EIRP relationship includes an EIRP ratio between the CSI-RS and the PDSCH or an EIRP offset between the CSI-RS and the PDSCH.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EIRP relationship includes a dynamic EIRP ratio between the first transmission and the PDSCH that is received in downlink control information (DCI).

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EIRP relationship includes a dynamic EIRP ratio between the first transmission and the PDSCH that is received in a payload of a previous PDSCH.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the EIRP relationship includes a maximum EIRP ratio between the first transmission and the PDSCH or a maximum EIRP offset between the first transmission and the PDSCH that is received in a radio resource control (RRC) message.

15. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory, the memory and the at least one processor configured to:

receive a first transmission from a base station over a first directional beam;

receive, from the base station, an indication of an equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) relationship between the first transmission and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH); and

receive the PDSCH from the base station over a second directional beam using the EIRP relationship.

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the memory and the at least one processor are further configured to:

perform automatic gain control to receive the PDSCH using the EIRP relationship indicated by the base station.
