Claim 5:
6. A method of operation of a network node in a cellular communications network, comprising:
transmitting, to a wireless device, a Medium Access Control, MAC, Control Element, CE, comprising:
a first octet comprising an indication of a semi-persistent sounding reference signal resource set to be activated or deactivated; and
a second octet comprising: information that indicates a spatial relation for the semi-persistent sounding reference signal resource set to be activated or deactivated; and an indication of a type of reference signal for which the spatial relation is provided and an identifier of a reference signal resource set for the type of reference signal for which the spatial relation is provided:

wherein
when a first bit in the second octet is set to a first state, the first bit serves as the indication of the type of reference signal for which the spatial relation is provided and the type of reference signal for which the spatial relation is provided is a Channel State Information Reference Signal, CSI-RS, and remaining bits in the second octet serve as the identifier of the reference signal resource set for the CSI-RS; and
the first bit in the second octet is set to a second state, a second bit in the second octet is set to a first state such that the first bit and the second bit serve as the indication of the type of reference signal for which the spatial relation is provided and the type of reference signal for which the spatial relation is provided is a Synchronization Signal Block, SSB; and remaining bits in the second octet serve as the identifier of the reference signal resource set for the SSB.
