## Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a base station, an indication of whether the UE is enabled to receive a simultaneous spatial relation update for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource group of PUCCH resources that share a same spatial relation. The UE may receive, from the base station based at least in part on the indication, the simultaneous spatial relation update for the PUCCH resource group. Numerous other aspects are provided.

## Claims
