1. An apparatus for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
one or more processors;
one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors; and
one or more processor-readable instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
receive, from a base station, first reference signal configuration information associated with a first beam sweeping procedure, and second reference signal configuration information associated with a second beam sweeping procedure;
receive, from the base station during the first beam sweeping procedure, a first set of reference signals according to the first reference signal configuration information, each reference signal of the first set of reference signals associated with a respective transmit beam of a set of transmit beams;
transmit, to the base station responsive to receiving the first set of reference signals, a channel state information report comprising an indication of a preferred transmit beam of the set of transmit beams; and
autonomously update a transmission configuration indicator state based at least in part on the channel state information report.
