The beam set includes one or more active beams, of a plurality of beams, that are associated with a single beam identifier. The management system identifies a location of the user device and thereby determines an expected power measurement of the beam set.

The management system therefore causes the beam set to be modified. The management system may use a machine learning model (e.g., a neural network machine learning model) to facilitate modification of the beam set.
