     INTRODUCTION 
     The following relates to wireless communications, and more specifically to using sensor information for communications. 
     Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple-access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). 
     A wireless multiple-access communications system may include a number of base stations or network access nodes, each simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE). In some wireless communications system, a base station and a UE may implement beamforming to initiate and continue communication.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     A wireless communications system may support communication beams for communications between one or more communication devices. A communication beam may support a communication link between a UE and a base station. For example, a communication beam may support uplink signaling, downlink signaling, connection procedures, etc. According to some examples, a base station may be configured with multiple antennas, which may be used for directional or beamformed transmissions (e.g., beamformed communication beams). Similarly, a UE may be configured with multiple antennas, which may be used for directional or beamformed transmissions (e.g., beamformed communication beams). In some examples, the UE may perform a beam sweep procedure to establish an initial connection with the base station. The base station may then communicate with the UE on an active base station communication beam, and the UE may communicate with the base station on an active UE communication beam. However, some wireless communications systems may use information transmitted between a transmitter and a receiver to perform communications. Specifically, some wireless communications systems may perform beam management procedures using information transmitted from a UE to a base station, and vice versa. 
     One or more aspects of the present disclosure provide for wireless communications systems to perform beam management (such as, initial access, beam tracking, power control, and beam reporting, etc.) using sensor information. In some examples, a UE (e.g., first communications device) may receive, via a sensor included within the UE, information associated with a base station (e.g., second communications device). In some examples, the UE may include a camera, a radio detection and ranging sensor, and a light detection and ranging sensor, and the UE may receive information about a location of a base station using the sensors. Similarly, the base station may also include one or more sensors, and may receive information about a UE using the one or more sensors. According to some aspects, the UE may perform a beam management procedure to identify (e.g., track) a UE beam corresponding to a base station beam. In some examples, the beam management procedure may be based on the received information. Similarly, the base station may also perform a beam management procedure based on the information received by the sensors included within the base station. The UE and the base station may then communicate based on the beam management procedure. 
     Communications devices having the capability to use sensor information for wireless communications may utilize the techniques described herein to experience power saving, such as reduced power consumption and extended battery life while ensuring reliable and efficient communications between UEs and base stations. Particular aspects of the subject matter described in this disclosure may be implemented to realize one or more enhancements. The techniques employed by the described UEs may provide benefits and enhancements to the operation of the UEs. For example, operations performed by the UEs may provide improvements to wireless operations. Additionally or alternatively, the techniques employed by the described UEs may provide time and power savings. In some examples, the UEs may support high reliability and low latency communications, among other examples, in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The described techniques may thus include features for improvements to power consumption, spectral efficiency, higher data rates and, in some examples, may promote enhanced efficiency for high reliability and low latency operations, among other benefits. 
     Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of a wireless communications system. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts that relate to techniques for using sensor information for wireless communications. 
       FIG. 1  illustrates an example of a wireless communications system  100  that supports techniques for using sensor information for wireless communications in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system  100  may include one or more base stations  105 , one or more UEs  115 , and a core network  130 . In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may be an LTE network, an LTE-A network, an LTE-A Pro network, or an NR network. In some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission critical) communications, low latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof. 
     The base stations  105  may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communications system  100  and may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. The base stations  105  and the UEs  115  may wirelessly communicate via one or more communication links  125 . Each base station  105  may provide a coverage area  110  over which the UEs  115  and the base station  105  may establish one or more communication links  125 . The coverage area  110  may be an example of a geographic area over which a base station  105  and a UE  115  may support the communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies. 
     The UEs  115  may be dispersed throughout a coverage area  110  of the wireless communications system  100 , and each UE  115  may be stationary, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs  115  may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. Some example UEs  115  are illustrated in  FIG. 1 . The UEs  115  described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs  115 , the base stations  105 , or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment), as shown in  FIG. 1 . 
     The base stations  105  may communicate with the core network  130 , or with one another, or both. For example, the base stations  105  may interface with the core network  130  through one or more backhaul links  120  (e.g., via an S1, N2, N3, or other interface). The base stations  105  may communicate with one another over the backhaul links  120  (e.g., via an X2, Xn, or other interface) either directly (e.g., directly between base stations  105 ), or indirectly (e.g., via core network  130 ), or both. In some examples, the backhaul links  120  may be or include one or more wireless links. A UE  115  may communicate with the core network  130  through a communication link  155 . 
     One or more of the base stations  105  described herein may include or may be referred to by a person having ordinary skill in the art as a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next-generation NodeB or a giga-NodeB (either of which may be referred to as a gNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology. 
     A UE  115  may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where the “device” may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. A UE  115  may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, a UE  115  may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communications (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances, or vehicles, meters, among other examples. 
     The UEs  115  described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs  115  that may sometimes act as relays as well as the base stations  105  and the network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other examples, as shown in  FIG. 1 . 
     The UEs  115  and the base stations  105  may wirelessly communicate with one another via one or more communication links  125  over one or more carriers. The term “carrier” may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication links  125 . For example, a carrier used for a communication link  125  may include a portion of a radio frequency spectrum band (e.g., a bandwidth part (BWP)) that is operated according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation for the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communications system  100  may support communication with a UE  115  using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. A UE  115  may be configured with multiple downlink component carriers and one or more uplink component carriers according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) component carriers. 
     The electromagnetic spectrum is often subdivided, based on frequency/wavelength, into various classes, bands, channels, etc. In 5G NR two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz-7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz-52.6 GHz). The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz-300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band. 
     With the above aspects in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like if used herein may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like if used herein may broadly represent frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, or may be within the EHF band. 
     Signal waveforms transmitted over a carrier may be made up of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or DFT-S-OFDM). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may consist of one symbol period (e.g., a duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements that a UE  115  receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate may be for the UE  115 . A wireless communications resource may refer to a combination of a radio frequency spectrum resource, a time resource, and a spatial resource (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity for communications with a UE  115 . 
     The time intervals for the base stations  105  or the UEs  115  may be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit which may, for example, refer to a sampling period of T_s=1/((Δf_max·N_f)) seconds, where Δf_max may represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and N_f may represent the maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. Time intervals of a communications resource may be organized according to radio frames each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023). 
     Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a number of slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of slots, and the number of slots may depend on subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include a number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems  100 , a slot may further be divided into multiple mini-slots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., N_f) sampling periods. The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or frequency band of operation. 
     A subframe, a slot, a mini-slot, or a symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system  100  and may be referred to as a transmission time interval (TTI). In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communications system  100  may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)). 
     Physical channels may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. A physical control channel and a physical data channel may be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a number of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of the UEs  115 . For example, one or more of the UEs  115  may monitor or search control regions for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or multiple control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to a number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with encoded information for a control information format having a given payload size. Search space sets may include common search space sets configured for sending control information to multiple UEs  115  and UE-specific search space sets for sending control information to a specific UE  115 . 
     In some examples, a base station  105  may be movable and therefore provide communication coverage for a moving geographic coverage area  110 . In some examples, different geographic coverage areas  110  associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas  110  may be supported by the same base station  105 . In other examples, the overlapping geographic coverage areas  110  associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations  105 . The wireless communications system  100  may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of the base stations  105  provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas  110  using the same or different radio access technologies. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may be configured to support ultra-reliable communications or low-latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communications system  100  may be configured to support ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) or mission critical communications. The UEs  115  may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions (e.g., mission critical functions). Ultra-reliable communications may include private communication or group communication and may be supported by one or more mission critical services such as mission critical push-to-talk (MCPTT), mission critical video (MCVideo), or mission critical data (MCData). Support for mission critical functions may include prioritization of services, and mission critical services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, mission critical, and ultra-reliable low-latency may be used interchangeably herein. 
     In some examples, a UE  115  may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs  115  over a device-to-device (D2D) communication link  135  (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UEs  115  utilizing D2D communications may be within the geographic coverage area  110  of a base station  105 . Other UEs  115  in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area  110  of a base station  105  or be otherwise unable to receive transmissions from a base station  105 . In some examples, groups of the UEs  115  communicating via D2D communications may utilize a one-to-many (1:M) system in which each UE  115  transmits to every other UE  115  in the group. In some examples, a base station  105  facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In other cases, D2D communications are carried out between the UEs  115  without the involvement of a base station  105 . 
     The core network  130  may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network  130  may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity that routes packets or interconnects to external networks (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a Packet Data Network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for the UEs  115  served by the base stations  105  associated with the core network  130 . User IP packets may be transferred through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to the network operators IP services  150 . The operators IP services  150  may include access to the Internet, Intranet(s), an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or a Packet-Switched Streaming Service. 
     Some of the network devices, such as a base station  105 , may include subcomponents such as an access network entity  140 , which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity  140  may communicate with the UEs  115  through one or more other access network transmission entities  145 , which may be referred to as radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmission/reception points (TRPs). Each access network transmission entity  145  may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, various functions of each access network entity  140  or base station  105  may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or consolidated into a single network device (e.g., a base station  105 ). 
     The wireless communications system  100  may operate using one or more frequency bands, in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). In some examples, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. The UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macro cell to provide service to the UEs  115  located indoors. The transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmission using the smaller frequencies and longer waves of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz. 
     The wireless communications system  100  may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communications system  100  may employ License Assisted Access (LAA), LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. When operating in unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands, devices such as the base stations  105  and the UEs  115  may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with component carriers operating in a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operations in unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples. 
     A base station  105  or a UE  115  may be equipped with multiple antennas, which may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of a base station  105  or a UE  115  may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with a base station  105  may be located in diverse geographic locations. A base station  105  may have an antenna array with a number of rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station  105  may use to support beamforming of communications with a UE  115 . Likewise, a UE  115  may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, an antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for a signal transmitted via an antenna port. 
     The base stations  105  or the UEs  115  may use MIMO communications to exploit multipath signal propagation and increase the spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. Such techniques may be referred to as spatial multiplexing. The multiple signals may, for example, be transmitted by the transmitting device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Likewise, the multiple signals may be received by the receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device, and multiple-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices. 
     Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a base station  105 , a UE  115 ) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining the signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating at particular orientations with respect to an antenna array experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference. The adjustment of signals communicated via the antenna elements may include a transmitting device or a receiving device applying amplitude offsets, phase offsets, or both to signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustments associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., with respect to the antenna array of the transmitting device or receiving device, or with respect to some other orientation). 
     A base station  105  or a UE  115  may use beam sweeping techniques as part of beam forming operations. For example, a base station  105  may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to conduct beamforming operations for directional communications with a UE  115 . Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted by a base station  105  multiple times in different directions. For example, the base station  105  may transmit a signal according to different beamforming weight sets associated with different directions of transmission. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used to identify (e.g., by a transmitting device, such as a base station  105 , or by a receiving device, such as a UE  115 ) a beam direction for later transmission or reception by the base station  105 . 
     Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be transmitted by a base station  105  in a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with the receiving device, such as a UE  115 ). In some examples, the beam direction associated with transmissions along a single beam direction may be determined based on a signal that was transmitted in one or more beam directions. For example, a UE  115  may receive one or more of the signals transmitted by the base station  105  in different directions and may report to the base station  105  an indication of the signal that the UE  115  received with a highest signal quality or an otherwise acceptable signal quality. 
     In some examples, transmissions by a device (e.g., by a base station  105  or a UE  115 ) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming to generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from a base station  105  to a UE  115 ). The UE  115  may report feedback that indicates precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across a system bandwidth or one or more sub-bands. The base station  105  may transmit a reference signal (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS)), which may be precoded or unprecoded. The UE  115  may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., a multi-panel type codebook, a linear combination type codebook, a port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted in one or more directions by a base station  105 , a UE  115  may employ similar techniques for transmitting signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., for identifying a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by the UE  115 ) or for transmitting a signal in a single direction (e.g., for transmitting data to a receiving device). 
     A receiving device (e.g., a UE  115 ) may try multiple receive configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals from the base station  105 , such as synchronization signals, reference signals, beam selection signals, or other control signals. For example, a receiving device may try multiple receive directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, by processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays, by receiving according to different receive beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, or by processing received signals according to different receive beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, any of which may be referred to as “listening” according to different receive configurations or receive directions. In some examples, a receiving device may use a single receive configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal). The single receive configuration may be aligned in a beam direction determined based on listening according to different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have a highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or otherwise acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions). 
     The wireless communications system  100  may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communications at the bearer or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP-based. A Radio Link Control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate over logical channels. A medium access control (MAC) layer may perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer may also use error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmissions at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the Radio Resource Control (RRC) protocol layer may provide establishment, configuration, and maintenance of an RRC connection between a UE  115  and a base station  105  or a core network  130  supporting radio bearers for user plane data. At the physical layer, transport channels may be mapped to physical channels. 
     Some wireless communications systems support use of information transmitted between a receiver and a transmitter to perform communications. Specifically, some wireless communications systems use signals transmitted from a UE or received at the UE to perform communications. Additionally or alternatively, some wireless communications systems use signals transmitted from a base station or received at the base station to perform communications. Aspects of the present disclosure provide for wireless communications systems (such as, wireless communications system  100 ) to perform aspects of communications (such as, initial access, beam tracking, power control, and beam reporting) using sensor information. According to some examples, the wireless communications system  100  may support using sensor information to efficiently perform beam management procedures. 
     One or more of the base stations  105  may include a base station communications manager  101 , which may receive, via a sensor included within the base station  105 , information associated with a UE  115 . The base station communications manager  101  may perform, based on the received information, a beam management procedure. In some examples, the beam management procedure may include a procedure to identify (e.g., track) a UE beam corresponding to a base station beam. The base station communications manager  101  may then communicate with the UE  115  based on performing the beam management procedure. 
     UEs  115  may include a UE communications manager  102 , which may receive, via a sensor included within the UE  115 , information associated with a base station. The UE communications manager  102  may perform, at the UE  115  and based on the received information, a beam management procedure. In some examples, the beam management procedure may include a procedure to identify (e.g., track) a UE beam corresponding to a base station beam. The UE communications manager  102  may then communicate with the base station  105  based on the beam management procedure. 
       FIG. 2  illustrates an example of a wireless communications system  200  that supports techniques for using sensor information for wireless communications in accordance with one or more aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, the wireless communications system  200  may implement aspects of wireless communications system  100 . The wireless communications system  200  may include a base station  105 - a  and a UE  115 - a , which may be examples of the corresponding devices described with reference to  FIG. 1 . The wireless communications system  200  may support handling power control and efficiency related to a beam management procedure to enhance communications efficiency in a wireless communications system. The described techniques resolve some challenges related to some techniques for signaling for beam management procedures. The wireless communications system  200  may enable the use of sensor information for efficient communication between a transmitter and a receiver (e.g., base station  105  and UE  115 - a ). In some cases, the wireless communications system  200  may support feedback signaling on several channels. Such channels may include a PUCCH, a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), etc. 
     In order to find at least one beam pair for communication, the base station  105 - a  may perform a beam management procedure with the UE  115 - a . In some examples, the base station  105 - a  may perform a beam management procedure with the UE  115 - a . The base station  105 - a  may be configured with multiple antennas, which may be used for directional or beamformed transmissions (e.g., beamformed communication beams  220 ). Similarly, the UE  115 - a  may be configured with multiple antennas, which may be used for directional or beamformed transmissions (e.g., beamformed communication beams  225 ). In some examples, the beam management procedure may include a beam sweep procedure. As illustrated, the base station  105 - a  and/or the UE  115 - a  may transmit a number of beamformed communication beams  220 ,  225  in different directions within a coverage area. 
     As part of the beam management procedure, the base station  105 - a  and the UE  115 - a  may synchronize before the base station  105 - a  schedules and allocates resources (e.g., time and frequency resources) for uplink and/or downlink communication between the base station  105 - a  and the UE  115 - a . In some cases, the base station  105 - a  and the UE  115 - a  may repeat the beam sweep pattern over different communication beams  220 ,  225  in an order which may be determined according to a given beam sweep pattern. The base station  105 - a  and the UE  115 - a  may have at least one active communication beam pair that is being used for wireless communications, as a result of the beam management procedure. 
     The base station  105 - a  may communicate with the UE  115 - a  on an active communication beam  220 - a , and the UE  115 - a  may communicate with the base station  105 - a  on an active communication beam  225 - a . The active communication beam may be used for transmitting transmission  230  and transmission  235 , such as data and control information. The active communication beam may be a downlink receive beam and an uplink transmit beam for the UE  115 - a , or a downlink transmit beam and an uplink receive beam for the base station  105 - a . In some aspects, an active communication beam may change, for example, due to mobility, interference, blockage, and the like. In some cases, the base station  105 - a  may identify a change to an active communication beam, such as due to blockage, and may transmit a beam switch signal, also referred to as a beam switch command, to the UE  115 - a . In some cases, the beam switch signal may identify a beam switch occasion for the UE  115 - a.    
     In some wireless communications systems, the base station  105 - a  can switch a downlink control beam after reception of an acknowledgement from the UE  115 - a  that a beam switch command was successfully received. However, some wireless communications systems enable aspects of communications (such as, initial access, beam tracking, power control, beam reporting, etc.) between a transmitter and a receiver using signals transmitted by the transmitter and the receiver. Specifically, some wireless communications systems support communications between transmitters and receivers by identifying signaling between a transmitter at a receiver. 
     Therefore, the wireless communications system  200 , applying the techniques described herein, may support using sensor information to efficiently perform beam management procedures. Specifically, the techniques described herein provide for enhancing communications efficiency and reducing latency in the wireless communications system  200 , while resolving some challenges related to techniques for beam management procedures. Specifically, the wireless communications system  200  supports the use of sensor information to identify the location of the base station  105 - a  or the UE  115 - a  or both. Additionally, the transmitters and receivers described herein (e.g., base station  105 - a  and UE  115 - a ) may use one or more embedded sensors to identify a number of antennas included in a second transmitter, a second receiver, or both. Having knowledge of a location of a transmitter and a receiver (e.g., the base station  105 - a  or UE  115 - a ) and a number of antennas of the transmitter and the receiver, may aid in determining directional beamforming (such as, digital beamforming or analog beamforming or hybrid beamforming where both digital and analog beamforming are used). Additionally or alternatively, the wireless communications system  200  may provide for the use of sensor information (such as, image information, radar information, lidar information) for beam tracking, blockage prediction and handover. 
     According to one or more aspects of the present disclosure, the wireless communications system  200  may support using sensor information to determine a relative location of transmitters (e.g., base station  105 - a  or UE  115 - a ) from a physical location of a receiver. In some examples, knowledge of the relative location may be useful for the receiver (e.g., base station  105 - a  or UE  115 - a ) to perform handover, joint transmission, and dynamic point selection. Additionally or alternatively, knowledge of the relative location of transmitters from different operators may be useful for a receiver to perform inter-operator interference mitigation. 
     According to some aspects, the wireless communications system  200  may enable the use of sensor information to enhance beam management procedure at the UE  115 - a  and the base station  105 - a . Specifically, the wireless communications system  200  may provide for techniques to receive sensor information (such as, image information, radio detection and ranging sensor, light detection and ranging sensor, and other environment information) using a sensor embedded within the UE  115 - a  and the base station  105 - a . The UE  115 - a  and/or the base station  105 - a  may then perform a beam management procedure based on the received sensor information and communicate according to the beam management procedure. In some examples, the wireless communications system  200  may support the use of camera or other sensors like radio detection and ranging sensor and light detection and ranging sensor, to identify an objective dynamically. 
     In some cases, a UE  115 - a  (e.g., first communications device) may include a sensor  240 - b  embedded within the UE  115 - a . Similarly, the base station  105 - a  may include a sensor  240 - a  embedded within the base station  105 - a . For example, the sensor  240 - a  and the sensor  240 - b  may include a camera, a radio detection and ranging sensor, a light detection and ranging sensor, etc. Although depicted as one sensor unit, it may be understood that the camera, the radio detection and ranging sensor and the light detection and ranging sensor may be different sensors embedded in the base station  105 - a  or the UE  115 - a  or both. In one aspect, the UE  115 - a  may receive an image of a base station  105 - a  (e.g., second communications device) using the camera (e.g., sensor  240 - b ), and may perform image processing on the image captured by the camera to identify at least one antenna of the base station  105 - a . Additionally or alternatively, the UE  115 - a  may receive, via the camera (e.g., sensor  240 - b ), multiple images of a base station  105 - a . The UE  115 - a  may then apply machine-learning algorithms to process the images (such as, perform image stitching) and identify at least one antenna of the base station  105 - a.    
     Similarly, the base station  105 - a  may receive an image of a UE  115 - a  using a camera (e.g., sensor  240 - a ) embedded within the base station  105 - a . In some examples, the base station  105 - a  may perform image processing on the image captured by the camera to identify at least one antenna of the UE  115 - a . According to one aspect, the UE  105 - a  may use signals received from a radio detection and ranging sensor or a light detection and ranging sensor or both, to identify one or more antennas of the base station  105 - a . Additionally or alternatively, the UE  115 - a  may use environment information to identify antennas (such as, antennas of the base station  105 - a ) from the received signals. Such information and/or signals may be used for communications between the UE  115 - a  and the base station  105 - a . In some instances, the base station  105 - a  may use signals received from a radio detection and ranging sensor or a light detection and ranging sensor (e.g., received from sensor  240 - b ) or both, to identify the UE  115 - a.    
     According to some aspects, the UE  115 - a  may identify or determine locations of one or more base stations  105 - a , and the UE  115 - a  may use the location information for beam selection, beam measurement and handover indication. In one example, the UE  115 - a  may predict a potential blockage of a UE beam corresponding to a base station beam based on receiving sensor information (from sensor  240 - a ) associated with the base station  105 - a . In some instances, a moving UE  115 - a  can infer through a camera (e.g., sensor  240 - b ) that a downlink base station beam is predicted to be blocked (because the UE is about to pass across a wall). As depicted in the example of  FIG. 2 , the UE  115 - a  may determine an obstacle  250  between the base station  105 - a  and the UE  115 - a . In such cases, the UE  115 - a  can proactively notify the base station  105 - a  that the downlink beam is going to be blocked, and the base station  105 - a  can switch the downlink beam to a secondary beam prior to a failure of the downlink base station beam. In the example of  FIG. 2 , the UE  115 - a  may determine that the downlink beam  220 - b  is blocked or will be blocked by the obstacle  250 . The UE  115 - a  may indicate the potential blockage, and the base station  105 - a  may switch the downlink beam to beam  220 - a . Accordingly, the UE  115 - a  may switch a receive beam from the receive beam  225 - b  to the receive beam  225 - a.    
     In some examples, the UE  115 - a  may receive an image of the base station  105 - a  and environment information associated with the base station  105 - a . The UE  115 - a  may analyze the environment information (such as, one more objects surrounding the base station  105 - a ) to predict the potential blockage. In one example, the UE  115 - a  may have an established UE beam  225  corresponding to a base station beam  220 . The UE  115 - a  may analyze the sensor information (such as, using machine-learning techniques) to determine that the one more objects surrounding the base station  105 - a  may lead to blockage of the established UE beam  225 . In such cases, the UE  115 - a  may transmit, to the base station  105 - a , a signal indicating the potential blockage of the UE beam  225 . Upon receiving the indication of the potential blockage, the base station  105 - a  may transmit an indication to perform a beam switch procedure prior to failure of the UE beam (e.g., established UE beam  225 ). 
     The base station  105 - a  may determine one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states (e.g., one or more beams) to activate and signal the active TCI states to the UE  115 - a . As depicted herein, beam indication may be based on a configuration and downlink signaling of TCI states. Each TCI state may include, among other things, information about a reference signal (a CSI-RS or a synchronization signal block). By associating a downlink transmission with a TCI, the base station  105 - a  may configure the UE  115 - a  to assume that the downlink transmission is performed using the same spatial filter as the reference signal associated with that TCI. In some examples, a UE  115 - a  may be configured with 64 TCI states. For beam indication for physical downlink control channel, a subset of the configured candidate states may be assigned by RRC signaling to each configured CORESET. That is, a base station  105 - a  may use an RRC signaling to configure a subset of the configured TCI states for each CORESET. The base station  105 - a  may further use a MAC control element (MAC-CE) to dynamically indicate a specific TCI state per CORESET. For instance, a MAC-CE may be used to activate a set of TCI states for a UE  115 - a . That is, if a UE  115 - a  determines a receiver-side beam direction for reception of the reference signal, then then UE  115 - a  can assume that the same beam direction for reception of the physical downlink control channel. 
     As depicted herein, the base station  105 - a  may use a downlink control indication to further determine a TCI state that is valid for a transmission. In some examples, the UE  115 - a  may determine a valid TCI state, and follow a base station  105 - a . For physical downlink shared channel beam indication, there may two options depending on the scheduling offset. The scheduling offset may be based on the transmission timing of the physical downlink shared channel relative to the corresponding physical downlink control channel carrying scheduling information for the physical downlink shared channel. In one example, if the scheduling offset is greater than a threshold, the downlink control indication of the scheduling assignment may indicate the TCI state for the physical downlink shared channel transmission. In some examples, the UE  115 - a  may be configured with a subset of TCI states from the prior configured set of candidate TCI states. The base station  105 - a  may use the downlink control indication to indicates one or more TCI states valid for a scheduled physical downlink shared channel transmission. Alternatively, if the scheduling offset is less than a threshold, the UE  115 - a  may assume that the physical downlink shared channel transmission is quasi co-located with a corresponding physical downlink control channel transmission. In other words, the TCI state for the physical downlink control channel state indicated by MAC signaling may be assumed to be valid for the corresponding scheduled physical downlink shared channel transmission. 
     In some examples, the UE  115 - a  may switch beams without an explicit beam switch command. In particular, the beam switch may be performed through the beam indication procedure. In some cases, the UE  115 - a  may perform the beam switch procedure to switch to a second UE beam to track or otherwise identify a second base station beam based on the indication received from the base station  105 - a . In some cases, the base station  105 - a  may indicate beam switch from a first UE beam  225  to a second UE beam  225 , even when the first UE beam  225  has a higher priority than the second UE beam  225 . 
     In some examples, the base station  105 - a  may predict a potential blockage of a base station beam corresponding to a UE beam based on receiving sensor information (e.g., from sensor  240 - b ) associated with the UE  115 - a . According to one or more examples, the base station  105 - a  may receive an image of the UE  115 - a  and/or additional information associated with the UE  115 - a . For example, the base station  105 - a  may use the sensor  240 - a  to capture an image of the UE  115 - a . In some examples, the base station  105 - a  may analyze the sensor information to predict the potential blockage (due to obstacle  250  blocking a line of sight). In one example, the base station  105 - a  may transmit, to the UE  115 - a , an indication to perform a beam switch procedure prior to failure of an established UE beam. That is, the wireless communications system  200  may provide for a base station  105 - a  to perform beam tracking, and to proactively switch a beam to a second preferred beam, upon determining that a certain beam is predicted to be blocked. For instance, the base station  105 - a  may transmit signaling indicating the beam switch occasion to the UE  105 - a  prior to failure of an established UE beam, instead of the beam failure recovery procedure. Thus, the present techniques provide for enhancing communications efficiency by proactively performing beam switching and bypassing the beam failure recovery procedure. 
     According to one or more aspects, as part of beam management procedure, the UE  115 - a  may report four downlink beams having high reference signal receive power values. In one example, the UE  115 - a  may determine that a downlink beam having a high reference signal receive power case (e.g., a line of sight beam) may be blocked. Upon predicting a blockage, the UE  115 - a  can suppress the reporting a first beam and report a second beam, where the first beam is stronger than the second beam. In some examples, the UE  115 - a  may report one or more additional beams. Thus, the UE  115 - a  may implicitly and proactively avoid reporting the first beam (e.g., line of sight beam) that is predicted to be blocked. 
     In some aspects of the present disclosure, the UE  115 - a  may determine a potential blockage of a UE beam and the UE  115 - a  may choose not to report that UE beam. In some examples, the UE  115 - a  may determine a first reference signal receive power associated with first UE beam and a second reference signal receive power associated with a second UE beam. In some cases, the first reference signal receive power may be greater than the second reference signal receive power. The UE  115 - a  may predict a potential blockage of the first UE beam (using methods described herein) based on receiving the information associated with a base station  105 - a . Upon predicting the potential blockage, the UE  115 - a  may transmit a measurement report associated with the second UE beam. That is, the UE  115 - a  may refrain from reporting the first UE beam (e.g., a UE beam with a higher reference signal receive power) if the UE  115 - a  detects a potential blockage of the first UE beam. Additionally, the UE  115 - a  may receive additional sensor information associated with a second UE  115 - a  and may perform an interference management associated with the second UE  115 - a  based on receiving the sensor information. 
     Additionally or alternatively, the UE  115 - a  may transmit a signal to the base station  105 - a  indicating whether the UE  115 - a  is located within a line of sight of the base station  105 - a . For instance, the UE  115 - a  may analyze sensor information associated with the base station  105 - a  to determine that the UE  115 - a  is located on a line of sight of the base station  105 - a . The UE  115 - a  may then transmit a signal indicating that the UE  115 - a  is located on the line of sight. In some cases, the UE  115 - a  may transmit the signal each time the UE  115 - a  determines that it is located within the line of sight of the base station  105 - a . Alternatively, the UE  115 - a  may periodically transmit the signal indicating whether the UE  115 - a  is located within the line of sight of the base station  105 - a . In some examples, the UE  115 - a  may perform power control (e.g., transmit power control) for transmitting a signal based on determining that the UE  115 - a  is located on the line of sight of the base station  105 - a . In some instances, the knowledge of whether the UE  115 - a  is located on the line of sight of the base station  105 - a  may affect the transmit power control at the UE  115 - a . Additionally or alternatively, the UE  115 - a  may establish an initial access procedure at the base station  105 - a  based on receiving sensor information associated with the base station  105 - a.    
     According to some aspects of the present disclosure, the UE  115 - a  may receive, via a camera included within the UE  115 - a , an image including a first base station  105 - a  and a second base station  105 - a . The UE  115 - a  may analyze the image to determine a location of the second base station. For instance, base station antennas may be visible in some deployments, and the UE  115 - a  may detect the antennas by implementing machine-learning algorithms at the UE  115 - a . In some cases, the UE  115 - a  may detect that a UE beam established with the first base station is about to fail. In such cases, the UE  115 - a  may indicate to the first base station  105 - a  to perform a handover procedure to handover the UE  115 - a  from the first base station  105 - a  to the second base station  105 - a  based on the determining the location of the second base station. In some cases, the UE  115 - a  may couple information received from an image with additional information received from other sensors. The UE  115 - a  may then use the coupled information to handover to the second base station  105 - a.

A second communications device  355  may be an example of a base station  105  and a UE  115  described with reference to  FIGS. 1 and 2 . 
     In the following description of the process flow  300 , the operations between the first communications device  350  and the second communications device  355  may be transmitted in a different order than the exemplary order shown. The operations performed by the first communications device  350  or the second communications device  355  may be performed in different orders or at different times than the exemplary order shown. Some operations may also be omitted from the process flow  300 , or other operations may be added to the process flow  300 . Further, the first communications device  350  and the second communications device  355  are not limiting, as the described features may be associated with any number of different devices. 
     At  305 , the first communications device  350  may use a sensor included within the first communications device  350  to receive information associated with the second communications device  355 .

Additionally or alternatively, the first communications device  350  may analyze the sensor information to determine whether the first communications device  350  is located in a line of sight of the second communications device  355  (not shown). The first communications device  350  may perform power control based on determining that the first communications device  350  is located in the line of sight. 
     Upon predicting the potential blockage, at  320 , the first communications device  350  may optionally transmit, to the second communications device  355 , a signal indicating the potential blockage of the first beam. Although not depicted herein, upon predicting the potential blockage the first communications device  350  may suppress reporting the first beam, and may report a second beam. 
     At  325 , the second communications device  355  may optionally transmit an indication to perform a beam switch procedure prior to failure of the first beam. At  330 , the first communications device  350  may perform the beam switch procedure to switch to a second beam to identify (e.g., track) a third beam based on the received indication. Additionally or alternatively, the first communications device  350  may determine, based on a beam indication, that a downlink beam has changed. In such examples, the first communications device  350  may accordingly change a corresponding receive beam to match a new downlink beam. At  335 , the first communications device  350  may communicate with the second communications device  355  based on the performing the beam switch. 
     The operations performed by the second communications device  355  and the first communications device  350  as part of, but not limited to, process flow  300  may provide improvements to communication links in wireless communications systems. Furthermore, the operations performed by the second communications device  355  and the first communications device  350  as part of, but not limited to, process flow  300  may provide benefits and enhancements to the operation of the first communications device  350  while performing communications having a high reliability and low latency. For example, the described methods in the process flow  300  may support using sensor information for channel monitoring and wireless communications, among other enhancements.

While aspects of an LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, or NR system may be described for purposes of example, and LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, or NR terminology may be used in much of the description, the techniques described herein are applicable beyond LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, or NR applications. 
     A macro cell covers a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions with the network provider. A small cell may be associated with a lower-powered base station, as compared with a macro cell, and a small cell may operate in the same or different (e.g., licensed, unlicensed, etc.) frequency bands as macro cells. Small cells may include pico cells, femto cells, and micro cells according to various examples. A pico cell, for example, may cover a small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs with service subscriptions with the network provider. A femto cell may also cover a small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may provide restricted access by UEs having an association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs in a closed subscriber group (CSG), UEs for users in the home, and the like). An eNB for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro eNB. An eNB for a small cell may be referred to as a small cell eNB, a pico eNB, a femto eNB, or a home eNB. An eNB may support one or multiple (e.g., two, three, four, and the like) cells, and may also support communications using one or multiple component carriers. 
     The wireless communications systems described herein may support synchronous or asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation, the base stations may have similar frame timing, and transmissions from different base stations may be approximately aligned in time. For asynchronous operation, the base stations may have different frame timing, and transmissions from different base stations may not be aligned in time. The techniques described herein may be used for either synchronous or asynchronous operations. 
     Information and signals described herein may be represented using any of a variety of different technologies and techniques. For example, data, instructions, commands, information, signals, bits, symbols, and chips that may be referenced throughout the description may be represented by voltages, currents, electromagnetic waves, magnetic fields or particles, optical fields or particles, or any combination thereof. 
     The various illustrative blocks and modules described in connection with the disclosure herein may be implemented or performed with a general-purpose processor, a DSP, an ASIC, an FPGA, or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof designed to perform the functions described herein. A general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor, but in the alternative, the processor may be any processor, controller, microcontroller, or state machine. A processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing devices (e.g., a combination of a DSP and a microprocessor, multiple microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in conjunction with a DSP core, or any other such configuration). 
     The functions described herein may be implemented in hardware, software executed by a processor, firmware, or any combination thereof. If implemented in software executed by a processor, the functions may be stored on or transmitted over as one or more instructions or code on a computer-readable medium. Other examples and implementations are within the scope of the disclosure and appended claims. For example, due to the nature of software, functions described herein can be implemented using software executed by a processor, hardware, firmware, hardwiring, or combinations of any of these. Features implementing functions may also be physically located at various positions, including being distributed such that portions of functions are implemented at different physical locations. 
     Computer-readable media includes both non-transitory computer storage media and communication media including any medium that facilitates transfer of a computer program from one place to another. A non-transitory storage medium may be any available medium that can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer. By way of example, and not limitation, non-transitory computer-readable media may include RAM, ROM, electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), flash memory, compact disk (CD) ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other non-transitory medium that can be used to carry or store desired program code means in the form of instructions or data structures and that can be accessed by a general-purpose or special-purpose computer, or a general-purpose or special-purpose processor. Also, any connection is properly termed a computer-readable medium. For example, if the software is transmitted from a website, server, or other remote source using a coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, digital subscriber line (DSL), or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave, then the coaxial cable, fiber optic cable, twisted pair, DSL, or wireless technologies such as infrared, radio, and microwave are included in the definition of medium. Disk and disc, as used herein, include CD, laser disc, optical disc, digital versatile disc (DVD), floppy disk and Blu-ray disc where disks usually reproduce data magnetically, while discs reproduce data optically with lasers. Combinations of the above are also included within the scope of computer-readable media. 
     As used herein, including in the claims, “or” as used in a list of items (e.g., a list of items prefaced by a phrase such as “at least one of” or “one or more of”) indicates an inclusive list such that, for example, a list of at least one of A, B, or C means A or B or C or AB or AC or BC or ABC (i.e., A and B and C). Also, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall not be construed as a reference to a closed set of conditions. For example, an exemplary operation that is described as “based on condition A” may be based on both a condition A and a condition B without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In other words, as used herein, the phrase “based on” shall be construed in the same manner as the phrase “based at least in part on.” 
     In the appended figures, similar components or features may have the same reference label. Further, various components of the same type may be distinguished by following the reference label by a dash and a second label that distinguishes among the similar components. If just the first reference label is used in the specification, the description is applicable to any one of the similar components having the same first reference label irrespective of the second reference label, or other subsequent reference label. 
     The description set forth herein, in connection with the appended drawings, describes example configurations and does not represent all the examples that may be implemented or that are within the scope of the claims. The term “exemplary” used herein means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration,” and not “preferred” or “advantageous over other examples.” The detailed description includes specific details for the purpose of providing an understanding of the described techniques. These techniques, however, may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid obscuring the concepts of the described examples. 
     The description herein is provided to enable a person skilled in the art to make or use the disclosure. Various modifications to the disclosure will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other variations without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Thus, the disclosure is not limited to the examples and designs described herein, but is to be accorded the broadest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
