Claim 13:
14. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a processing system configured to:
execute a channel access procedure for a plurality of beams;
map a transmission to a successful subset of the plurality of beams for which the channel access procedure was successfully performed;
reallocate transmit power from a different subset of the plurality of beams to the successful subset of the plurality of beams; and
adjust modulation of the transmission based at least in part on reallocating the transmit power from the different subset of the plurality of beams to the successful subset of the plurality of beams, wherein the channel access procedure was successfully performed for the successful subset of the plurality of beams based on a channel being idle or not in use in a spatial direction of the successful subset of the plurality of beams; and

an interface configured to:
output a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) for the transmission on a first beam, of the successful subset of the plurality of beams, while the DMRS is not transmitted on a second beam that is different from the successful subset of the plurality of beams.
