Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless communication. In one aspect of the disclosure, a user equipment (UE) detects a beam failure of a first beam for a first component carrier (CC) based on a link quality associated with the first beam for the first CC. The first CC and a second CC are within a same group of CCs. The UE initiates one or more beam failure recovery operations associated with any CC within the same group of CCs as the first and second CCs based on a determination of a beam failure of a second beam for the second CC. The determination is based on the detection of the beam failure for the first CC and based on the first CC and the second CC being within the same group of CCs.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for beamforming in wireless communications. Some implementations more specifically relate to beamforming configurations for multicast communications. A transmitting device may transmit multicast data to multiple receiving devices, concurrently, via a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The PDSCH may be preceded by a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH). The PDCCH may provide scheduling information for the PDSCH, including a multicast beam associated with the PDSCH and a timing offset or delay between the PDCCH and the PDSCH. A receiving device may determine that the PDSCH contains multicast data based on an indication in the PDCCH. To receive the PDSCH, each receiving device may tune its antennas in a direction of the scheduled multicast beam or a default beam based on the delay between the PDCCH and the PDSCH.

Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for selecting and indicating a quasi colocation (QCL) source signal for sidelink (SL) communications. For example, a scheduling node may select from multiple candidates a signal for a first user equipment (UE) to use as a spatial QCL source for a receive (RX) or transmit (TX) beam to use for communicating with a second UE on a SL interface. The scheduling node may then signal the first UE an indication of the selection of the signal.
