Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may configure a user equipment (UE) with a control resource set (CORESET) with multiple transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. The UE may determine TCI state configurations for one or more search space sets associated with the CORESET, where different search space sets associated with the CORESET may have different TCI state configurations. For example, each search space set may be associated with a first TCI state of the CORESET, a second TCI state of the CORESET, or both. The UE may monitor for downlink control information (DCI) messages in physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates of the search space sets according to respective TCI state configurations for the search space sets. Such a configuration may flexibly support a base station transmitting DCI using different TCI state configurations in PDCCH candidates of a single CORESET.
