User Equipment Processing and Capabilities for Multiple Receive Chain Reception

An apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:

• use a first one of one or more processing capabilities for multi-transmission and reception point (TRP) reception from a first TRP and a second TRP, wherein the one or more processing capabilities comprise joint processing, separate processing, or both joint and separate processing;
• and
• switch from the first one of the one or more processing capabilities to a second one of the one or more processing capabilities.

An apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:

• process, based on signals received from a user equipment (UE), an indication indicating the UE is capable of joint processing, separate processing, or both joint and separate processing, and wherein the UE is configured to receive a first beam from a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and a second beam from a second TRP such that the UE is configured to receive multiple TRP-RX pairs from the first TRP and the second TRP;
• and
• generate, for transmission to the UE, configuration information identifying, based on the indication of the processing capability, a suitable multi-TRP transmission scheme and which processing capability for the UE to use for multi-TRP reception with the first TRP and the second TRP.
