Abstract

A user equipment (UE) and a method for beam indication in a multi-transmission and reception point (MTRP) are provided. The method includes: receiving, from a base station (BS), first downlink control information (DCI) including a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) field indicating a first TCI state, the first DCI being associated with a first value; receiving, from the BS, second DCI including a second TCI field indicating a second TCI state, the second DCI being associated with a second value; performing, based on the first TCI state, a first uplink (UL) transmission; and performing, based on the second TCI state, a second UL transmission. The first UL transmission is scheduled by third DCI associated with the first value, and the second UL transmission is scheduled by fourth DCI associated with the second value.

Claims (56)

1 - 14 . (canceled)

15 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for beam indication in a multi-transmission and reception point (MTRP), the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), first downlink control information (DCI) including a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) field indicating a first TCI state, the first DCI being associated with a first value;

receiving, from the BS, second DCI including a second TCI field indicating a second TCI state, the second DCI being associated with a second value;

performing, based on the first TCI state, a first uplink (UL) transmission; and

performing, based on the second TCI state, a second UL transmission, wherein:

the first UL transmission is scheduled by third DCI associated with the first value, and

the second UL transmission is scheduled by fourth DCI associated with the second value.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving, from the BS, a radio resource control (RRC) configuration including an RRC parameter indicating a TCI state type in a serving cell, wherein:

the RRC parameter indicates a joint TCI state type, and

the first TCI state and the second TCI state are configured in a joint TCI state list.

17 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving, from the BS, a radio resource control (RRC) configuration including an RRC parameter indicating a TCI state type in a serving cell, wherein:

the RRC parameter indicates a separate TCI state type, and

the first TCI state and the second TCI state are configured in a UL TCI state list.

18 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the first DCI and the second DCI are downlink (DL) DCI.

19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the third DCI and the fourth DCI are UL DCI.

20 . A user equipment (UE) for beam indication in a multi-transmission and reception point (MTRP), the UE comprising:

one or more processors; and

at least one memory coupled to the one or more processors, the at least one memory storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the UE to:

receive, from a base station (BS), first downlink control information (DCI) including a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) field indicating a first TCI state, the first DCI being associated with a first value;

receive, from the BS, second DCI including a second TCI field indicating a second TCI state, the second DCI being associated with a second value;

perform, based on the first TCI state, a first uplink (UL) transmission; and

perform, based on the second TCI state, a second UL transmission, wherein:

the first UL transmission is scheduled by third DCI associated with the first value, and

the second UL transmission is scheduled by fourth DCI associated with the second value.

21 . The UE of claim 20 , wherein the one or more computer-executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the UE to:

receive, from the BS, a radio resource control (RRC) configuration including an RRC parameter indicating a TCI state type in a serving cell, wherein:

the RRC parameter indicates a joint TCI state type, and

the first TCI state and the second TCI state are configured in a joint TCI state list.

22 . The UE of claim 20 , wherein the one or more computer-executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the UE to:

receive, from the BS, a radio resource control (RRC) configuration including an RRC parameter indicating a TCI state type in a serving cell, wherein:

the RRC parameter indicates a separate TCI state type, and

the first TCI state and the second TCI state are configured in a UL TCI state list.

23 . The UE of claim 20 , wherein the first DCI and the second DCI are downlink (DL) DCI.

24 . The UE of claim 20 , wherein the third DCI and the fourth DCI are UL DCI.

25 . A base station (BS) for beam indication in a multi-transmission and reception point (MTRP), the BS comprising:

one or more processors; and

at least one memory coupled to the one or more processors, the at least one memory storing one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the BS to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), first downlink control information (DCI) including a first transmission configuration indication (TCI) field indicating a first TCI state, the first DCI being associated with a first value;

transmit, to the UE, second DCI including a second TCI field indicating a second TCI state, the second DCI being associated with a second value;

perform, based on the first TCI state, a first uplink (UL) reception; and

perform, based on the second TCI state, a second UL reception, wherein:

the first UL reception is scheduled by third DCI associated with the first value, and

the second UL reception is scheduled by fourth DCI associated with the second value.

26 . The BS of claim 25 , wherein the one or more computer-executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the BS to:

transmit, to the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) configuration including an RRC parameter indicating a TCI state type in a serving cell, wherein:

the RRC parameter indicates a joint TCI state type, and

the first TCI state and the second TCI state are configured in a joint TCI state list.

27 . The BS of claim 25 , wherein the one or more computer-executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the BS to:

transmit, to the UE, a radio resource control (RRC) configuration including an RRC parameter indicating a TCI state type in a serving cell, wherein:

the RRC parameter indicates a separate TCI state type, and

the first TCI state and the second TCI state are configured in a UL TCI state list.

28 . The BS of claim 25 , wherein the first DCI and the second DCI are downlink (DL) DCI.

29 . The BS of claim 25 , wherein the third DCI and the fourth DCI are UL DCI.
