Quasi co-location relationship indications for dormant or deactivated carriers

A method for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• outputting a carrier indication that identifies a first carrier and a second carrier for communication between a user equipment (UE) and the network entity;
• outputting, using the first carrier, a first quasi co-location indication that identifies a first set of quasi co-location information that corresponds to a reference signal output using the first carrier;
• and
• outputting, using the second carrier, a second quasi co-location indication that identifies the reference signal and that indicates that the first set of quasi co-location information is associated with signaling output using the second carrier.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory coupled with the processor and storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• receive a carrier indication that identifies a first carrier and a second carrier for communication between the UE and a network entity;
• receive, using the first carrier, a first quasi co-location indication that identifies a first set of quasi co-location information that corresponds to a reference signal received using the first carrier;
• and
• receive, using the second carrier, a second quasi co-location indication that identifies the reference signal and that indicates that the first set of quasi co-location information is associated with signaling received using the second carrier.
