Abstract
A base station and a UE may use a unified TCI to indicate a power control parameter for a plurality of UL channels. The base station may receive the UE's capability to support the unified TCI power control parameter, and configure the at least one power control parameter associated with at least one of a first component associated with the TCI state and a plurality of second component associated with the plurality of uplink channels.
Claims26
