TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATION STATE ORDERING FOR AN INITIAL CONTROL RESOURCE SET

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficient identification of spatial parameters for receiving control information in an initial coreset. In one example, a user equipment (UE) may receive a transmission configuration indication (TCI) state indicating reference signals quasi co-located with a control information transmission in a coreset. The TCI state may be identified from a set of TCI states, where the set of TCI states includes at least one TCI state corresponding to each synchronization signal block (SSB) (e.g., each quasi co-location (QCL) source) associated with the initial coreset. The UE may identify spatial parameters for monitoring the coreset for the control information transmission in accordance with the TCI state.
