In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive signaling identifying a transmission precoding matrix indicator associated with a transmit codebook configured for three antenna ports. The UE may transmit an uplink communication in accordance with the transmit codebook configured for three antenna ports. Numerous other aspects are described.
