Abstract

The node receives a first information block, the first information block indicating a target identity; and receives or transmits a first signal in a first resource set, the first signal being QCL with a first target reference signal resource; the target identity is associated with K1 first-type reference signal resources, the K1 first-type reference signal resources being associated with a first cell; the first target reference signal resource is one of the K1 first-type reference signal resources; the first resource set belongs to the first cell; the first resource set is used to determine the first target reference signal resource from the K1 first-type reference signal resources. The present application improves the determination of TCI, and thus the transmission of beamforming with a spectrum configuration based on flexible duplex mode or variable link, hence the optimized system performance.
