Abstract: Method, system, and UE for PUCCH transmission with repetition in multi-TRP/panel systems are proposed, enabling the UE to support PUCCH repetitions in a system comprising multiple TRPs. To implement PUCCH repetition in the multi-TRP/panel based systems, solutions include combinations of default spatial relation assumption, configuration/activation of multiple spatial relations, and intra-slot PUCCH repetition. One or two default spatial relations (settings) are assumed, so that a UE can perform PUCCH transmissions with multiple TRPs when no spatial relation is configured. The MAC CE may be enhanced to carry information of multiple PUCCH resources and corresponding spatial relations so that a UE can perform PUCCH transmissions with multiple TRPs without confusions. Intra-slot PUCCH repetition is proposed to improve efficiency and reliability of PUCCH transmissions by repeating the Uplink Control Information (UCI) within one slot.
