BEAM ACTIVATION BASED ON PCI - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18008397 Titled 'BEAM ACTIVATION BASED ON PCI'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes methods and devices for wireless communication. The apparatus, which can be a user equipment (UE) or a cell/base station, receives a Downlink Control Information (DCI) from a first cell among multiple cells. The DCI indicates various parameters such as TCI states, Physical Layer Reference Signal (PL RS) IDs, and spatial relation information IDs, which are associated with Physical Cell Identifiers (PCIs) of each cell. The apparatus determines the PCI of the first cell based on the received parameters and communicates with the first cell using a specific beam associated with the determined PCI.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a UE and/or a cell or base station. In one aspect, the apparatus can receive DCI from a first cell of a plurality of cells, the DCI indicating at least one of a plurality of TCI states, a plurality of PL RS IDs, or a plurality of spatial relation information IDs which correspond to one or more PCIs, each of the one or more PCIs being associated with one cell. The apparatus can also determine a first PCI associated with the first cell based on at least one of a first TCI state, a first PL RS ID, or a first spatial relation information ID which correspond to the first PCI. Further, the apparatus can communicate with the first cell over a first beam based on the determined first PCI.
