Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a first set of signal strength metrics for signal strengths of transmit beams of a base station using receive beams of the UE. The UE may identify a second set of signal strength metrics for signal strengths of transmit beams of the UE using receive beams of the UE. The UE may transmit an indication of the first set of signal strength metrics and the second set of signal strength metrics to the base station. The UE may communicate with the base station based at least in part on the indication.
