Abstract

Various embodiments herein are directed to set physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) default beam behavior for single transmission-reception point (TRP), single downlink control information (DCI) multi-TRP and multi-DCI multi-TRP operation, as well as physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) prioritization based on quasi-colocation (QCL) Type-D for multi-panel reception and single panel reception.

Claims (30)

1. An apparatus comprising:

memory to store configuration information associated with physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring from multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) by a user equipment (UE); and

processor circuitry, coupled with the memory, to:

retrieve the configuration information from the memory, wherein the configuration information includes an indication of multiple control resource sets (CORESETs) associated with a common transmission configuration indicator (TCI) group; and

encode a message that includes the configuration information for transmission to the UE;

wherein the TCI group comprises TCI states associated with a common reception panel.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the TCI group includes TCI states in different cells that are associated with the common reception panel and have a common TCI state identifier.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the TCI group includes TCI states associated with CORESETs that are in turn associated with a common CORESET pool index value and are associated with the common reception panel.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the TCI group includes TCI states that are associated with a common value of a panel index and are associated with the common reception panel.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the TCI group includes two TCI states comprising a channel state information-reference signal indicator (CRI) or a synchronization signal block resource indicator (SSBRI) that are reported in a single reporting instance and are not associated with the common reception panel.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a first CRI or SSBRI is associated with a first reception panel and a second CRI or SSBRI is associated with a second reception panel.

7. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are to cause a device to:

determine configuration information associated with physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring from multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) by a user equipment (UE), wherein the configuration information includes an indication of multiple control resource sets (CORESETs) associated with a common transmission configuration indicator (TCI) group; and

encode a message that includes the configuration information for transmission to the UE;

wherein the TCI group comprises TCI states associated with a common reception panel.

8. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the TCI group includes TCI states in different cells that are associated with the common reception panel and have a common TCI state identifier.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the TCI group includes TCI states associated with CORESETs that are in turn associated with a common CORESET pool index value and are associated with the common reception panel.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the TCI group includes TCI states that are associated with a common value of a panel index and are associated with the common reception panel.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 7 , wherein the TCI group includes two TCI states comprising a channel state information-reference signal indicator (CRI) or a synchronization signal block resource indicator (SSBRI) that are reported in a single reporting instance and are not associated with the common reception panel.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 11 , wherein a first CRI or SSBRI is associated with a first reception panel and a second CRI or SSBRI is associated with a second reception panel.

13. An apparatus comprising:

memory to store configuration information associated with physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) monitoring from multiple transmission reception points (TRPs) by a user equipment (UE); and

processor circuitry, coupled with the memory, to:

retrieve the configuration information from the memory, wherein the configuration information includes an indication of multiple control resource sets (CORESETs) associated with a common transmission configuration indicator (TCI) group; and

encode a message that includes the configuration information for transmission to the UE;

wherein the TCI group includes TCI states associated with CORESETs that are in turn associated with a common CORESET pool index value and are associated with a common reception panel.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the TCI group includes TCI states in different cells that are associated with the common reception panel and have a common TCI state identifier.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the TCI group includes TCI states that are associated with a common value of a panel index and are associated with the common reception panel.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the TCI group includes two TCI states comprising a channel state information-reference signal indicator (CRI) or a synchronization signal block resource indicator (SSBRI) that are reported in a single reporting instance and are not associated with the common reception panel.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein a first CRI or SSBRI is associated with a first reception panel and a second CRI or SSBRI is associated with a second reception panel.
