Claim 9:
10. A method of wireless communication by a base station, comprising:
determining one or more capabilities of a user equipment (UE);
determining multiple uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for the UE to use based on the one or more capabilities;
transmitting, to the UE, a single signal of the multiple uplink TCI states, wherein the single signal indicating multiple uplink TCI states is indicated via a mapping of the multiple uplink TCI states to a single uplink TCI codepoint which applies only to uplink transmissions, wherein the multiple uplink TCI states are based on more than one of a space division multiplexing (SDM) scheme, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) scheme, or a time division multiplexing (TDM) scheme; and
receiving, from the UE, an uplink transmission in response to the single signal, wherein the uplink transmission is based on the multiple uplink TCI states and the received uplink transmission is according to a selected transmission scheme and is one of SDM scheme, FDM scheme or TDM scheme.
