Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a user equipment (UE) may receive an indication of first and second channel measurement resources associated with corresponding first and second transmission configuration indicator states. The UE may identify a rank restriction parameter for obtaining channel state information for a joint transmission hypothesis associated with the first and second channel measurement resources. The UE may generate and transmit a channel state information report that includes at least one rank indicator corresponding to the joint transmission hypothesis in accordance with the rank restriction parameter.
