Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a first message activating a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for the UE for uplink communications. The UE may receive a second message that indicates, for uplink communications by the UE, a first TCI state of the plurality of TCI states and that indicates an activation of an uplink beam selection procedure for autonomous selection of an uplink beam by the UE, and may transmit an uplink message using a second TCI state different from the first TCI state, the second TCI state selected by the UE based on the uplink beam selection procedure. In some examples, the UE transmit a request for the activation of the uplink beam selection procedure by the UE.
