Claim 12:
13. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
at least one processor;
a transceiver; and
a memory, coupled to the at least one processor and the transceiver, storing instructions thereon, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
receive, from a base station, via the transceiver, a beamformed signal on at least one downlink directional beam;
transmit, to the base station via the transceiver and an uplink resource, an uplink request based on an occurrence of a triggering event detected based on one or more measurements of the beamformed signal, the uplink request operable to request uplink resources for transmission of a channel state information (CSI) report, wherein the uplink resource of the uplink request indicates that the at least one downlink directional beam is associated with the occurrence of the triggering event; and
transmit, to the base station, via the transceiver, an uplink transmission comprising the CSI report indicating the occurrence of the triggering event, wherein the CSI report is included in a medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC-CE) of the uplink transmission.
