Beam based downlink control signaling

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions stored thereon that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
• monitoring in one or more monitoring occasions for control information,
• wherein the control information is received using a first beam, wherein the first beam is based on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) quasi co-located with a synchronization signal block (SSB);
• and
• based on the one or more monitoring occasions, receiving downlink control channel spatial information using the first beam,
• wherein the SSB is received using a second beam and the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission is received using the first beam, wherein the first beam and the second beam are received from a same direction and the SSB and PDCCH transmission are quasi co-located with respect to spatial quasi co-location parameters.

A computer readable storage medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause said computing device to effectuate operations comprising:

• monitoring in one or more monitoring occasions for control information,
• wherein the control information is received using a first beam, wherein first beam is based on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) quasi co-located with a synchronization signal block (SSB);
• and
• based on the one or more monitoring occasions, receiving downlink control channel spatial information using the first beam,
• wherein the SSB is received using a second beam and the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission is received using the first beam, wherein the first beam and the second beam are received from a same direction and the SSB and PDCCH transmission are quasi co-located with respect to spatial quasi co-location parameters.
