Abstract

A method, performed by a User Equipment (UE), includes receiving, from a cell, configuration signaling configuring the UE with one or more PUCCH resources on an active UL BWP, the one or more PUCCH resources not being configured with PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo, and the configuration signaling indicating that a default spatial relation behavior for PUSCH transmission scheduled by a DCI format 0_0 is enabled; receiving, from the cell, the DCI format 0_0 on an active DL BWP, the DCI format 0_0 providing scheduling information for a PUSCH; and transmitting the PUSCH according to the default spatial relation behavior which determines a spatial relation with reference to a QCL-TypeD RS corresponding to a QCL assumption of a pre-determined CORESET on the active DL BWP of the cell.

Claims (38)

1. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

one or more non-transitory computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon; and

at least one processor coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, and configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

receive, from a cell, configuration signaling configuring the UE with one or more Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) resources on an active uplink (UL) Bandwidth part (BWP), the one or more PUCCH resources not being configured with PUCCH-Spatial Relation Information (PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo), and the configuration signaling indicating that a default spatial relation behavior for Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmission scheduled by a downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0 is enabled;

receive, from the cell, the DCI format 0_0 on an active downlink (DL) BWP, the DCI format 0_0 providing scheduling information for a PUSCH; and

transmit the PUSCH according to the default spatial relation behavior which determines a spatial relation with reference to a Quasi-CoLocation (QCL)-TypeD (QCL-TypeD) reference signal (RS) corresponding to a QCL assumption of a pre-determined Control Resource Set (CORESET) on the active DL BWP of the cell.

2. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined CORESET is the same as a default spatial relation setting applied for a PUCCH transmission from the UE, if:

the UE reports beam correspondence capability to the cell; or

the default spatial relation setting applied for the PUCCH transmission is enabled by the cell.

3. The UE of claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

indicate to the cell of the UE's capability to support the default spatial relation behavior for a PUCCH transmission or a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS).

4. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined CORSET is configured with a lowest Identifier (ID) on the active DL BWP of the cell.

5. The UE of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to:

indicate to the cell of the UE's capability to support the default spatial relation behavior for the PUSCH.

6. A method by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, from a cell, configuration signaling configuring the UE with one or more Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) resources on an active uplink (UL) Bandwidth part (BWP), the one or more PUCCH resources not being configured with PUCCH-Spatial Relation Information (PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo), and the configuration signaling indicating that a default spatial relation behavior for Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmission scheduled by a downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0 is enabled;

receiving, from the cell, the DCI format 0_0 on an active downlink (DL) BWP, the DCI format 0_0 providing scheduling information for a PUSCH; and

transmitting the PUSCH according to the default spatial relation behavior which determines a spatial relation with reference to a Quasi-CoLocation (QCL)-TypeD (QCL-TypeD) reference signal (RS) corresponding to a QCL assumption of a pre-determined Control Resource Set (CORESET) on the active DL BWP of the cell, when the default spatial relation behavior is enabled by the cell.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined CORESET is the same as a default spatial relation setting applied for a PUCCH transmission from the UE, if:

the UE reports beam correspondence capability to the cell; or

the default spatial relation setting applied for the PUCCH transmission is enabled by the cell.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

indicating to the cell of the UE's capability to support the default spatial relation for a PUCCH transmission or a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS).

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the predetermined CORSET is configured with a lowest Identifier (ID) on the active DL BWP of the cell.

10. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

indicating to the cell of the UE's capability to support the default spatial relation behavior for the PUSCH.

11. A method by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration signaling configuring the UE with one or more Physical Uplink Control CHannel (PUCCH) resources on an active uplink (UL) Bandwidth part (BWP), the one or more PUCCH resources not being configured with PUCCH-Spatial Relation Information (PUCCH-SpatialRelationInfo), and the configuration signaling indicating that a default spatial relation behavior for Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH) transmission scheduled by a downlink control information (DCI) format 0_0 is enabled;

transmitting, to the UE, the DCI format 0_0 on an active downlink (DL) BWP, the DCI format 0_0 providing scheduling information for a Physical Uplink Shared CHannel (PUSCH); and

receiving, from the UE, the PUSCH according to a default spatial relation behavior which determines a spatial relation with reference to a Quasi-CoLocation (QCL)-TypeD (QCL-TypeD) reference signal (RS) corresponding to a QCL assumption of a pre-determined Control Resource Set (CORESET) on the active DL BWP of the cell, when the default spatial relation behavior is enabled by the cell.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined CORESET is the same as a default spatial relation setting applied for a PUCCH transmission from the UE, if:

the UE reports beam correspondence capability to the cell; or

the default spatial relation setting applied for the PUCCH transmission is enabled by the cell.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising:

receiving, from the UE, an indication of the UE's capability to support the default spatial relation behavior for a PUCCH transmission or a Sounding Reference Signal (SRS).

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined CORSET is configured with a lowest Identifier (ID) on the active DL BWP of the cell.

15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving, from the UE, an indication of the UE's capability to support the default spatial relation behavior for the PUSCH.
