Claim 8:
9. A method of wireless communication performed by a base station, comprising:
receiving, information indicating a set of capabilities of a user equipment (UE) for beamformed communication in a sub-6 gigahertz (GHz) frequency band, the capabilities including one or more of:
a number of transmit and receive beam changes the UE can perform on the sub-6 GHz band within a slot,
a maximum number of configured spatial relations per component carrier for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and sounding reference signal (SRS) on the sub-6 GHz band,
a maximum number of active spatial relations with regard to PUCCH and SRS for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), per bandwidth part (BWP) per component carrier on the sub-6 GHz band, or
support of simultaneous reception with different quasi-co-location (QCL) Type D for use on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) on the sub-6 GHz band;

transmitting a beamforming configuration based on the information indicating the set of capabilities;
receiving, from the UE, a set of pilot signals respectively corresponding to a set of directional beams of the UE in a directional beam sweep associated with a resource mapping for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); and
transmitting information indicating a selected one of the set of directional beams based on receiving the set of pilot signals.
