Abstract
Aspects relate to transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state configuration in multi-stream communication between a radio access network (RAN) entity and a user equipment (UE). The UE may obtain a respective beam quality metric for each transmit beam of a plurality of transmit beams associated with the RAN entity and transmit a beam report to the RAN entity including a respective beam quality metric for each of the transmit beams. The RAN entity may then group the plurality of transmit beams into a plurality of beam groups based on the beam report and transmit a plurality of TCI state groups, each corresponding to a respective one of the beam groups, to the UE.
