Beam management procedures for wireless networks
A method may include receiving, by a wireless device via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), first downlink signals based on a first reference signal (RS) associated with a preamble for a random-access procedure. The method may also include receiving, by the wireless device, downlink control information (DCI) indicating a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state applicable to downlink channel receptions. The method may further include, in response to application of the TCI state to the downlink channel receptions, the wireless device receiving second downlink signals via the PDSCH based on the TCI state.
