TRANSMISSION CONTROL INDICATOR STATE UPDATE FOR MULTIPLE TRANSMIT RECEIVE POINTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18552597 titled 'TRANSMISSION CONTROL INDICATOR STATE UPDATE FOR MULTIPLE TRANSMIT RECEIVE POINTS

Simplified Explanation

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a first medium access control control element (MAC-CE) that, alone or with a second MAC-CE, specifies one or more transmission control indicator (TCI) states for a first control resource set (CORESET) identifier (ID) that corresponds to a first transmit receive point (TRP) and one or more TCI states for a second CORESET ID that corresponds to a second TRP. The UE may update spatial relation information for the UE based at least in part on the first MAC-CE. The UE may receive signals from the first or second TRP using the updated spatial relation information. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • User equipment (UE) receives MAC-CE specifying TCI states for CORESET IDs corresponding to TRPs.
  • UE updates spatial relation information based on the received MAC-CE.
  • UE receives signals from TRPs using the updated spatial relation information.
