1. A 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:
receive a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) identifying a TCI state;
receive an indication that identifies an association between a TCI type of the TCI state, a type of channel, and a type of reference signal,
wherein the TCI type of the TCI state is a TCI type from a set that includes:
a first TCI type that indicates a common beam for downlink signaling and uplink signaling,
a second TCI type that indicates a common beam for multiple downlink channels or reference signals, and
a third TCI type that indicates a common beam for multiple uplink channels or reference signals; and
communicate using the type of channel and the type of reference signal based at least in part on the association between the TCI state, the type of channel, and the type of reference signal.
