Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A base station may configure a user equipment (UE) with quasi co-located (QCL) associations between a physical uplink control channel and a sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission for at least one time and frequency domain channel parameter. The UE may transmit, in accordance with the QCL association, a control channel transmission via the physical uplink control channel using an antenna port that is quasi co-located with at least one antenna port for transmitting the SRS transmission and transmit, in accordance with the QCL association, the SRS transmission via the at least one antenna port. In another example, the base station may configure the UE with an antenna port association between an SRS transmission and a physical uplink control channel. The UE may transmit the SRS transmission and a control channel transmission in accordance with the antenna port association.
