  • Publication number: 20240113844
    Abstract: In a unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) framework, certain channels are preconfigured to use a fixed number of TCI states. However, these preconfigured channels are not currently updated when the number of TCI states dynamically change during a switch between single and multiple transmission and reception point (TRP) modes. To alleviate this problem, a user equipment (UE) may receive downlink control information (DCI) indicating a first number of TCI states and, prior to the DCI, downlink information indicating a second number of TCI states, detect a switch between the multiple TRP (mTRP) and single TRP (sTRP) modes based on the first number of TCI states being different than the second number of TCI states, and communicate in a channel configured to use a selected TCI state associated with the first number of TCI states using a predefined rule based on the switch between the mTRP and sTRP modes.
