UNIFIED TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATE SELECTION FOR PHYSICAL DOWNLINK SHARED CHANNEL OR PHYSICAL UPLINK SHARED CHANNEL TRANSMISSIONS

Abstract

The present application relates to selecting one or more of activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for communications between a network and a user equipment. In an example, the network includes multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) with which the UE communications. An activated TCI state can be a unified downlink TCI state that applies to multiple downlink channels or a unified uplink TCI state that applies to multiple uplink channels, where this state has already been activated by the network for the UE. Based on a predefined set of rules or network-based signaling, the UE can determine for a downlink or uplink communication with the network, one or more of the activated TCI states to use to then perform the downlink or uplink communication with the network.
