Aspects of the present disclosure relate to receiver beamforming management procedures. According to certain aspects, beams from the set of beams configured at the user equipment (UE) may be not recovered, deleted, removed, and/or merged. A method by a UE includes communicating with a base station using a set of beams. The UE receives signaling, from the base station, indicating one or more beams of the set to be removed from the set and updates the beams in the set based on the signaling.
