Claim 24:
25. An apparatus for wireless communication by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more processors individually or collectively configured to execute instructions stored on one or more memories and to cause the UE to:
select a first beam of a plurality of beams for determining one or more channel ratio metrics;
determine the one or more channel ratio metrics for the first beam, wherein determining the one or more channel ratio metrics is based, at least in part, on an angular separation between the first beam and one or more neighboring beams of the plurality of beams, wherein the one or more channel ratio metrics comprise at least one of a channel busy ratio (CBR) metric for the first beam or a channel occupancy ratio (CR) metric for the first beam; and
transmit signaling via the first beam based on the one or more channel ratio metrics.
