1. A first user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
transmit, to a second UE, sidelink configuration information indicating one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for at least one sidelink channel between the first UE and the second UE, wherein a TCI state, of the one or more TCI states, defines sidelink quasi co-location (QCL) information that identifies a sender of a QCL reference signal, and wherein the sidelink QCL information that identifies the sender of the QCL reference signal includes at least one of:
at least a portion of an identifier associated with the first UE, or
data indicating whether the QCL reference signal is for reception or transmission; and
communicate, using the indicated one or more TCI states, the QCL reference signal with the second UE.
