UNIFIED TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR FRAMEWORK FOR PHYSICAL CHANNELS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18258539 titled 'UNIFIED TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR FRAMEWORK FOR PHYSICAL CHANNELS
Simplified Explanation
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The abstract states that a base station can transmit control information to a user equipment (UE) indicating a pair of joint transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. The UE can use one TCI state for receiving or transmitting uplink or downlink messages and another TCI state for receiving or transmitting a repetition of those messages. The base station can transmit separate indications of multiple pairs of TCI states. The UE can use one pair of TCI states for uplink repetitions and another pair for downlink repetitions. The UE can indicate the joint or separate TCI states via DCI signaling. The UE can update or activate TCI state pairs and perform beamforming procedures using the TCI state pair or pairs.
- Base station transmits control information to UE indicating TCI states
- UE uses TCI states for receiving or transmitting messages and repetitions
- Base station can transmit separate indications of multiple pairs of TCI states
- UE uses different pairs of TCI states for uplink and downlink repetitions
- UE indicates TCI states via DCI signaling
- UE can update or activate TCI state pairs
- UE can perform beamforming procedures using TCI state pairs
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Generally, a base station may transmit control information to a user equipment (UE) indicating a pair of joint transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. The UE may use one of the TCI states for receiving or transmitting one or more uplink or downlink messages, and another TCI state for receiving or transmitting a repetition of the one or more messages. In some examples, the base station may transmit separate indications of multiple pairs of TCI states. The UE may use one of the pairs of TCI states for uplink repetitions, and may use another pair of TCI states for downlink repetitions. The UE may indicate the joint or separate TCI states via DCI signaling. In some examples, the UE may update or activate TCI state pairs, and may perform beam forming procedures using the TCI state pair or pairs.
