Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may transmit a downlink control information message to a user equipment (UE) that includes both a first indication of one or more transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for the UE to use for communications with the base station and a second indication of one or more uplink transmissions to be sent by the UE. In some implementations, the UE may use one of the one or more indicated TCI states to communicate with the base station after a delay (or offset) from sending an uplink transmission of the one or more uplink transmissions. For example, the delay may include an amount of time or a quantity of symbols between transmitting the uplink transmission of the one or more uplink transmissions and communicating with the base station using the one of the one or more indicated TCI states.
