SYNCHRONIZATION SIGNAL BLOCK AND PHYSICAL DOWNLINK CONTROL CHANNEL SEARCH SPACE MONITORING BASED ON USER EQUIPMENT BEAMFORMING CAPABILITY

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for transmitting, from a user equipment (UE) to a base station, a report indicating a beamforming capability of the UE, receiving, from a base station, a configuration for a plurality of control resource sets (CORESETs) based at least in part on the report, selecting multiple CORESETs of the plurality of CORESETs, and monitoring the selected multiple CORESETs during a monitoring occasion. In some examples, the UE may also monitor one or more unselected CORESETs that have a quasi co-location relationship with one of the selected CORESETs.
