1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
receive information indicating a spatial division multiplexing (SDM) configuration for communicating simultaneously using multiple beams, from a set of beams, based at least in part on the SDM configuration;
receive, via a first beam of the set of beams configured for SDM, a downlink communication;
receive an indication to use a second beam to transmit uplink control information (UCI) associated with the first beam; and
transmit, via the second beam of the set of beams, the UCI associated with the first beam.
