Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink control information (DCI) on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The DCI may include one or more of an indication of a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states related to a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), one or more receive beams associated with the set of TCI states, or a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) scheme. The UE may decode the DCI and may determine a temporal period associated with the indication of the set of TCI states. The UE may receive, based on the temporal period, the PDSCH according to one or more of the set of TCI states, the one or more receive beams associated with the set of TCI states, the PDSCH scheme, or one or more default receive beams.
