Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, devices and computer readable media for multi-TRP communication. A method comprises determining a first beam for a first physical shared channel which is scheduled by control information; determining a second beam for a second physical shared channel which is scheduled by the control information, the second beam being different from the first beam; and performing communication over the first physical shared channel via the first beam and over the second physical shared channel via the second beam.

Claims (11)

1. A method performed by a terminal device, comprising:

determining a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission power in a PUCCH transmission occasion,

wherein the determining comprising determining a downlink pathloss estimate by using a first reference signal (RS) resource index,

wherein based on a higher layer parameter indicating at least one RS to be used for PUCCH pathloss estimation is not provided, the first RS resource index provides a RS resource configured with quasi-colocation (QCL) type D in a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state of a control resource set (CORESET) with a lowest index in an active bandwidth part (BWP) of a serving cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the higher layer parameter is pathlossReferenceRSs.

3. A terminal device, comprising:

a processor configured to cause the terminal device to:

determine a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission power in a PUCCH transmission occasion,

wherein the terminal device is caused to determine the transmission power by determining a downlink pathloss estimate by using a first reference signal (RS) resource index,

wherein based on a higher layer parameter indicating at least one RS to be used for PUCCH pathloss estimation is not provided, the first RS resource index provides a RS resource configured with quasi-colocation (QCL) type D in a Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state of a control resource set (CORESET) with a lowest index in an active bandwidth part (BWP) of a serving cell.

4. The terminal device of claim 3 , wherein the higher layer parameter is pathlossReferenceRSs.
