Method and user equipment for multi-transmission/reception point operations

A User Equipment (UE) for communicating with a plurality of Transmission Reception Points (TRPs), including a first TRP and a second TRP, associated with a Base Station (BS), the UE comprising:

• transceiver circuitry;
• and
• at least one processor, coupled to the transceiver circuitry, and configured to control the transceiver circuitry to:
• receive, from the BS, one or more Radio Resource Control (RRC) messages that configure the UE with a first Sounding Reference Signal (SRS) resource set associated with the first TRP, a second SRS resource set associated with the second TRP, different from the first TRP, and a cyclical mapping pattern for a plurality of Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) repetitions, the first SRS resource set and the second SRS resource set being configured for codebook-based transmissions;
• and
• transmit the plurality of PUSCH repetitions based on the cyclical mapping pattern at least by:
• transmitting a first PUSCH repetition of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions to the first TRP based on the first SRS resource set and the cyclical mapping pattern;
• and
• transmitting a second PUSCH repetition of the plurality of PUSCH repetitions to the second TRP based on the second SRS resource set and the cyclical mapping pattern after transmitting the first PUSCH repetition.
