Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may support communications with a set of transmission/reception points (TRPs). The UE may receive one or more signals from at least one TRP of the set of TRPs. The one or more signals may indicate a condition corresponding to the UE for the multi-TRP communications. The UE may determine the condition of the UE based on the one or more signals. The UE may communicate with one or more TRPs of the set of TRPs based on the one or more signals. For example, the UE may communicate with the one or more TRPs according to a multi-TRP communications configuration determined based on the condition of the UE.
