Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for forming a virtual user equipment (UE) group and enhancing communication using joint reception and transmission mechanisms. For example, a UE may establish sidelink channels for communications with one or more other UEs.

The information exchanged depends on at least one of a joint reception mechanism or a joint transmission mechanism used by the virtual UE group. The UE communicates with the network entity based, at least in part, on the exchanged information.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit a control channel such as a PDCCH using one or more control resource sets (CORESETs). A CORESET may be associated with a number of different transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states which may specify information that a UE may use to receive the PDCCH.
