Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive control signaling indicating a network coding configuration for a set of transmit beams, each transmit beam in the set of transmit beams being spatial division multiplexed with respect to the other transmit beams of the set. The UE may identify based at least in part on the control signaling, a first set of one or more transmit beams of the set of transmit beams carrying parity information for a second set of one or more transmit beams in the set of transmit beams. The UE may perform beamformed communications over the set of transmit beams in accordance with the network coding configuration and the parity information.
