Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for transmission reception point (TRP) adaptation for energy efficiency. A terminal device receives transmission configuration information indicating concurrent transmissions or receptions over a same transmission resource for two or more TCI states, and performs concurrent transmissions or receptions over the same transmission resource respectively for the two or more TCI states. In this way, a new transmission mode using the unified TCI framework is provided, which improves the energy efficiency.
Claims21
1-34. (canceled)
A terminal device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the terminal device at least to:
- receive, from a network device, transmission configuration information, wherein the transmission configuration information indicates concurrent transmissions or receptions over a same transmission resource for two or more Transmission Configuration Indicator, TCI, states;
- and
- perform, based on the transmission configuration information, concurrent transmissions or receptions over the same transmission resource respectively for the two or more TCI states.
A network device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the network device at least to:
- generate transmission configuration information, wherein the transmission configuration information indicates concurrent transmissions or receptions over a same transmission resource for two or more Transmission Configuration Indicator, TCI, states;
- and
- transmit, to a terminal device, the transmission configuration information.
A method at a terminal device, comprising:
- receiving, from a network device, transmission configuration information, wherein the transmission configuration information indicates concurrent transmissions or receptions over a same transmission resource for two or more Transmission Configuration Indicator, TCI, states;
- and
- performing, based on the transmission configuration information, concurrent transmissions or receptions over the same transmission resource respectively for the two or more TCI states.
