Facilitating receiver beamforming and antenna panel switching in advanced networks (e.g., 4G, 5G, and beyond) is provided herein. Operations of a system can comprise performing a receiver beam evaluation procedure that determines whether a receiving beam is to be changed from a first receiving beam to a second receiving beam. The operations can also comprise transmitting, to a network device, a request for permission to perform a beam management procedure that switches the receiving beam from the first receiving beam to the second receiving beam. Further, the operations can comprise receiving, from the network device, a response to the request. The response can comprise an indication of an action to be performed based on a result of the receiver beam evaluation procedure.
