Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a radio unit (RU) may receive, from a distributed unit (DU), a control plane message associated with a section type that is dedicated for information that applies to all resource blocks and spatial layers in a group of carriers or band sectors, wherein the control plane message includes information that applies to all resource blocks and spatial layers in an indicated group of carriers or band sectors. The RU may perform beamforming for one or more communications with a user equipment (UE) based at least in part on the information included in the control plane message. Numerous other aspects are described.
