Abstract
A method for operating a user equipment (UE) comprises receiving configuration information including information on a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states and information on reception of a beam indication; receiving the beam indication based on the configuration information; and determining whether the beam indication is used for (A) or (B), wherein: (A) corresponds to triggering a beam measurement and a beam report, and (B) corresponds to indicating at least one TCI state for downlink (DL) reception or uplink (UL) transmission.
Claims20
A user equipment (UE) comprising:
- a transceiver configured to:
- receive configuration information including information on a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states and information on reception of a beam indication;
- and
- receive the beam indication based on the configuration information;
- and
- a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
- determine whether the beam indication is used for (A) or (B), wherein:
- (A) corresponds to triggering a beam measurement and a beam report, and
- (B) corresponds to indicating at least one TCI state for downlink (DL) reception or uplink (UL) transmission.
A base station (BS) comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- generate configuration information including information on a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states and information on a beam indication;
- and
- generate the beam indication, wherein the information on the beam indication indicates whether the beam indication is for (A) or (B), wherein:
- (A) corresponds to triggering a beam measurement and a beam report, and
- (B) corresponds to indicating at least one TCI state for downlink (DL) transmission or uplink (UL) reception;
- and
- a transceiver operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to:
- transmit the configuration information;
- and
- transmit the beam indication.
A method for operating a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving configuration information including information on a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states and information on reception of a beam indication;
- receiving the beam indication based on the configuration information;
- and
- determining whether the beam indication is used for (A) or (B), wherein:
- (A) corresponds to triggering a beam measurement and a beam report, and
- (B) corresponds to indicating at least one TCI state for downlink (DL) reception or uplink (UL) transmission.
