Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may measure a power value for each beam from one or more cells and calculate an average beam power for each cell. The UE may transmit these calculated averages to a base station in a report, and the base station may select a cell for communications based on the measurement report. The UE may also include a number indicating how many beams are used when calculating an average beam power, a ratio between a maximum and minimum beam power for each cell, two average beam powers based on two defined thresholds, or a combination of these measurements, in the transmitted report. The UE may add a bias to the average beam power for a particular cell to indicate a preference for that cell over the other candidate cells.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. System information may be updated during wireless communications. A base station may transmit an indication of such a change to a wireless device. In some cases, the indication may include a priority of the system information change. The base station may set a time duration for the system information change, and broadcast one or more information blocks (e.g., indicating the updated system information) during the time duration. Upon expiration of a timer associated with the time duration, the base station may return to transmitting the one or more information blocks to the wireless device in response to requests from the wireless device. In some cases, the system information change may be broadcast in response to receiving multiple requests to transmit the first type of information block from a plurality of wireless devices served by the base station.
