BEAM INDICATION METHOD, NETWORK DEVICE, AND TERMINAL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18223017 titled 'BEAM INDICATION METHOD, NETWORK DEVICE, AND TERMINAL DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method, network device, and terminal device for beam indication in a communication network.

  • The method involves receiving a command from the network device, which indicates the Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state in a TCI state pool.
  • The TCI state can be a joint TCI state or a separate TCI state and is preconfigured by the network device.
  • The TCI state is used to indicate common beam information of multiple channels or Reference Signals (RSs).
  • The method also includes determining the TCI state corresponding to either an Uplink (UL) or a Downlink (DL) based on the received command.


Original Abstract Submitted

A beam indication method, a network device, and a terminal device are provided. The method includes: receiving a first command sent by the network device. The first command is used to indicate at least one Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state in a TCI state pool. The at least one TCI state comprises a joint TCI state or a separate TCI state. The TCI state pool is preconfigured by the network device. The at least one TCI state is used to indicate common beam information of a plurality of channels or Reference Signals (RSs). The method further includes determining, according to the first command, the at least one TCI state corresponding to an Uplink (UL) or a Downlink (DL).
