1. A user equipment (UE) in a radio access network (RAN) of a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive a message indicating one or more transmission configuration indicator states (TCI-states) or one or more spatial relations (SRs) to utilize for multi-component carrier communication, the message comprising an index identifying a group of two or more component carriers of a plurality of access component carriers or a plurality of sidelink component carriers associated with the one or more TCI-states or the one or more SRs; and
update the one or more TCI-states or the one or more SRs for the group of two or more component carriers for the multi-component carrier communication based on an association of at least one reference signal source of a TCI-state of the one or more TCI-states or an SR of the one or more SRs in the message, wherein the at least one reference signal source is associated with at least one of access communication or sidelink communication.
