Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for limiting a number of active beams available for communications between a user equipment (UE) and a base station (e.g., to limit the complexity at the UE). In one example, transmission configuration indication (TCI) states may correspond to active beams available for downlink reception that are identified based on configured quasi co-location (QCL) relationships and active QCL assumptions (i.e., the TCI states may include configured QCL relationships and QCL assumptions). Because the TCI states may include configured QCL relationships and active QCL assumptions, the number of active beams available for communications between a UE and a base station may be limited by the number of active TCI states (e.g., where the number of active TCI states may be determined based on a UE capability).

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for transmitting an uplink signal, a terminal, and a network device. In one aspect, in embodiments of the present invention, by receiving configuration information of a zero-power uplink reference signal transmitted by a network device, and determining resources occupied by the zero-power uplink reference signal according to the configuration information, no uplink data is transmitted over the resources, and/or no non-zero-power uplink reference signal is transmitted over the resources. Since resources are pre-reserved on a terminal, the interference with uplink reference signals transmitted by other terminals over pre-reserved resources caused by uplink signals transmitted by the terminal over the pre-reserved resources is effectively avoided, and reliable transmission of the uplink reference signals of the terminal can be ensured, thereby improving the transmission performance of these uplink reference signals.
