  • Patent number: 11894894
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. To indicate a precoder sequence for uplink transmissions, a base station may transmit a message to a UE that configures a sequence of at least two sets of precoding parameters. Each set of precoding parameters may correspond to an uplink message. For example, a first set of precoding parameters of the sequence may correspond to a first uplink message and a second set of precoding parameters of the sequence may correspond to a second uplink message that is subsequent to the first uplink message in a time domain. The UE may receive the message and transmit, to the base station, the first uplink message using the first set of precoding parameters and the second uplink message using the second set of precoding parameters based on the sequence of the at least two sets of precoding parameters.
