1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, from a base station, signaling that indicates a transmission pattern for a plurality of transmit beams associated with two or more synchronization signal blocks, wherein the transmission pattern corresponds to sets of two or more concurrently transmitted beams within the plurality of transmit beams;
monitoring for a plurality of reference signals associated with the plurality of transmit beams based at least in part on the transmission pattern, wherein:
each of the sets of two or more concurrently transmitted beams is associated with a respective set of two or more reference signals within the plurality of reference signals, each reference signal of the respective set of two or more reference signals associated with a respective orthogonal cover code; and
a first reference signal associated with a first synchronization signal block is monitored for concurrently with a second reference signal associated with a second synchronization signal block, the first reference signal and the second reference signal associated with one of the sets of two or more concurrently transmitted beams, and the two or more synchronization signal blocks comprising the first synchronization signal block and the second synchronization signal block; and
transmitting channel state information to the base station based at least in part on monitoring for the plurality of reference signals.
