Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for multiple transmission-reception point (multi-TRP) physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) scheme determination are provided. One method may include receiving, at a user equipment, at least one of an indication or configuration comprising information relating to one or more multi-TRP PUCCH schemes. The method may also include determining a multi-TRP scheme to apply for an uplink control information (UCI) transmission using at least one of the indication or the configuration, and transmitting the UCI on PUCCH according to the determined multi-TRP PUCCH scheme.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, at a user equipment from a network node, (i) at least one of an indication or configuration comprising information indicating an association of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource to a multiple transmission reception point (multi-TRP) scheme, which relates to one or more multi-TRP PUCCH schemes, and (ii) an indication to use the PUCCH resource for a multi-TRP PUCCH operation;
- determining one of the one or more multi-TRP PUCCH schemes to apply for an uplink control information (UCI) transmission based on the at least one of the indication or the configuration and based on the indicated PUCCH resource;
- and
- transmitting the UCI on a PUCCH according to the determined multi-TRP PUCCH scheme.
An apparatus, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory comprising computer program code, the at least one memory and computer program code being configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive (i) least one of an indication or configuration comprising information indicating an association of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource to a multiple transmission reception point (multi-TRP) scheme, which relates to one or more multi-TRP PUCCH schemes, and (ii) an indication to use the PUCCH resource for a multi-TRP PUCCH operation;
- determine one of the one or more multi-TRP PUCCH schemes to apply for an uplink control information (UCI) transmission based on at least one of the indication or the configuration and based on the indicated PUCCH resource;
- and
- transmit the UCI on a PUCCH according to the determined multi-TRP PUCCH scheme.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions stored thereon for performing at least the following:
- receiving (i) at least one of an indication or configuration comprising information indicating an association of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resource to a multiple transmission reception point (multi-TRP) scheme, which relates to one or more multi-TRP PUCCH schemes, and (ii) an indication to use the PUCCH resource for a multi-TRP PUCCH operation;
- determining one or the one or more multi-TRP PUCCH schemes to apply for an uplink control information (UCI) transmission based on at least one of the indication or the configuration and based on the indicated PUCCH resource;
- and
- transmitting the UCI on a PUCCH according to the determined multi-TRP PUCCH scheme.
