  • Patent number: 12647996
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for updating a joint downlink and uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state for a communication channel or a reference signal. In one aspect, abase station (BS) may indicate, to a user equipment (UE), a joint downlink and uplink TCI state for a communication channel or a reference signal. The BS may indicate a usage, transmission types, or transmission resources associated with the joint downlink and uplink TCI state. Accordingly, the UE may associate the joint downlink and uplink TCI state with a channel or reference signal, as indicated by the BS. This enables to the UE to utilize a common beam indicated by the joint downlink and uplink TCI state. As a result, the UE and the BS may reduce signaling and network overhead by using a single TCI to indicate properties of a common beam for both downlink and uplink.
