Opportunistic dmrs or csi-rs aided beam prediction accuracy improvement

Abstract

Method and apparatus for an accuracy improvement for opportunistic DMRS or CSI-RS aided beam prediction. The apparatus receives a TCI state configuration regarding a target reference signal including at least one QCL configuration comprising spatial transmission parameters shared with a source signal. The apparatus receives, from a network entity, the target reference signal associated with the TCI state configuration, wherein a transmission spatial filter of the target reference signal corresponds to the source signal from the TCI state configuration. The apparatus may transmit, to the network entity, a report for the source signal of the TCI configuration and predicted channel characteristics. The apparatus may transmit, to the network entity, an indication of support for a UE capability associated with the at least one QCL configuration that comprises the spatial transmission parameters shared with the source signal.
