Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive first signaling and second signaling, wherein the first signaling is radio resource control signaling and the second signaling is downlink control information signaling, and wherein the first signaling and the second signaling include a first configuration information associated with identifying a first sounding reference signal (SRS) resource set and a second configuration information associated with identifying a second SRS resource set. The UE may transmit an SRS associated with one of the first SRS resource set or the second SRS resource set, wherein the SRS is associated with the one of the first SRS resource set or the second SRS resource set based at least in part on a format of the downlink control information. Numerous other aspects are described.
