Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may evaluate the plurality of hypotheses based at least in part on the set of power control offset ratios and on a set of evaluation metrics to select at least one of the plurality of hypotheses. Numerous other aspects are provided.

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

determining, for a set of hypotheses associated with a set of channel state information (CSI) reference signal (RS) resource pairs, a set of power control offset ratios; and
