Abstract: Systems and methods for configured grant for multi-panel Uplink (UL) transmission are provided. In some embodiments, a method performed by a User Equipment (UE) for transmitting PUSCH configured grant to multiple-TRPs includes: receiving a configuration of at least one unified TCI state, indicating mTRP operation; receiving an indication of a configured grant, indicating either mTRP operation using repetition or Simultaneous Transmission Across Multiple Panels (STxMP); and transmitting a PUSCH according to the configuration o. In this way, the unified TCI state framework can be extended to mTRP and multi-panel transmission for configured grant. With the unified TCI state framework, separate spatial relations do not have to be configured for UL transmission. Hence, unified TCI state framework can provide some higher layer overhead savings. By extending unified TCI state framework for mTRP and multi-panel transmission for configured grant, configured grant based PUSCH can also leverage this advantage.
