## Abstract

A wireless device may receive one or more configuration parameters. The one or more configuration parameters indicate: one or more physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources, and a default beam is used for physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmissions. The wireless device may receive downlink control information (DCI), with DCI format 0_0, scheduling a PUSCH. The wireless device may transmit, via the PUSCH, a transport block according to a default spatial relation in response to: a DCI format of the DCI being the DCI format 0_0, the configuration parameters indicating that the default beam is used, each PUCCH resource of the one or more PUCCH resources not being configured with a spatial relation, and the wireless device being in a radio resource control (RRC) connected mode.
