1. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
memory; and
at least one processor coupled to the memory and, based at least in part on information stored in the memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
receive a radio resource control (RRC) message from a network node, the RRC message including a first configuration of a plurality of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, each TCI state in the plurality of TCI states being associated with a respective TCI state identifier (ID);
receive one or more medium access control-control elements (MAC-CEs) from the network node, the one or more MAC-CEs including a second configuration of a plurality of codepoints, each codepoint in the plurality of codepoints being associated with one or more transmit receive points (TRPs) in a plurality of TRPs of the network node, wherein the second configuration of the plurality of codepoints comprises a plurality of fields, a number of the plurality of fields enabling an indication of more than one TCI state for each codepoint, and wherein each field of the plurality of fields:
comprises one or more bits,
corresponds to a codepoint and one TCI state of the more than one TCI state, and
indicates whether a joint TCI state is associated with the codepoint and the one TCI state corresponding to the field;
receive a single downlink control information (DCI) message from the network node, the single DCI message being indicative of at least one codepoint in the plurality of codepoints; and
communicate with the network node based on the at least one codepoint.
