Abstract

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for multiple transmission and reception points (multi-TRP) based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission is provided. The method includes receiving, from a base station (BS), a Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter that enables the UE to derive a default uplink (UL) spatial filter for PUSCH transmission; receiving, from the BS, a downlink control indication (DCI) format 0_0 that schedules the PUSCH transmission on a serving cell; determining one or two default UL spatial filters for the PUSCH transmission; and applying the one or two default UL spatial filters to perform the PUSCH transmission.

Claims (28)

1 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for multiple transmission and reception points (multi-TRP) based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), a Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter that enables the UE to determine two default uplink (UL) spatial filters for the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission;

receiving, from the BS, a downlink control indication (DCI) format 0_0 that schedules the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission on a serving cell;

determining the two default UL spatial filters for the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission; and

applying the two default UL spatial filters to perform the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission, wherein:

the two default UL spatial filters are determined based on a first control resource set (CORESET) in a case that the first CORESET has been activated with first and second Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) states, and

in a case that the first CORESET has been activated with the first TCI state, the two default UL spatial filters are determined based on the first CORESET and a second CORESET, such that:

in a case that the second CORESET has been activated with a third TCI state, the two default UL spatial filters are determined based on the first TCI state and the third TCI state, and applied by the UE to perform the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission, and

in a case that the second CORESET has been activated with the third TCI state and a fourth TCI state, the two default UL spatial filters are determined based on the first TCI state and a TCI state with the lowest identifier (ID) among the third and fourth TCI states, and applied by the UE to perform the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the first CORESET is a CORESET with a lowest ID among a plurality of CORESETs configured by the BS, and

the second CORESET is a CORESET with a second lowest ID among the plurality of CORESETs configured by the BS.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein in the case that the first CORESET has been activated with the first and second TCI states, the two default UL spatial filters are determined based on the first and second TCI states and applied by the UE to perform the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission.

4 . A user equipment (UE) for multiple transmission and reception points (multi-TRP) based physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, the UE comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the at least one processor and storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the UE to:

receive, from a base station (BS), a Radio Resource Control (RRC) parameter that enables the UE to determine two default uplink (UL) spatial filters for the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission;

receive, from the BS, a downlink control indication (DCI) format 0_0 that schedules the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission on a serving cell;

determine the two default UL spatial filters for the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission; and

apply the two default UL spatial filters to perform the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission, wherein:

the two default UL spatial filters are determined based on a first control resource set (CORESET) in a case that the first CORESET has been activated with first and second Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) states, and

in a case that the first CORESET has been activated with the first TCI state, the two default UL spatial filters are determined based on the first CORESET and a second CORESET, such that:

in a case that the second CORESET has been activated with a third TCI state, the two default UL spatial filters are determined based on the first TCI state and the third TCI state, and applied by the UE to perform the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission, and

in a case that the second CORESET has been activated with the third TCI state and a fourth TCI state, the two default UL spatial filters are determined based on the first TCI state and a TCI state with the lowest identifier (ID) among the third and fourth TCI states, and applied by the UE to perform the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission.

5 . The UE of claim 4 , wherein:

the first CORESET is a CORESET with a lowest ID among a plurality of CORESETs configured by the BS, and

the second CORESET is a CORESET with a second lowest ID among the plurality of CORESETs configured by the BS.

6 . The UE of claim 4 , wherein in the case that the first CORESET has been activated with the first and second TCI states, the two default UL spatial filters are determined based on the first and second TCI states and applied by the UE to perform the multi-TRP based PUSCH transmission.
