Abstract: Wireless communications systems may support identification or determination of a common default beam for a component carrier (CC) group (e.g., such that all CCs of a CC group may be associated with a same default beam). For example, a CC group may be configured or established to include one or more CCs (e.g., for carrier aggregation), where each CC group may share a same analog beamformer. As such, a beam (e.g., a default uplink/downlink beam) may be established as default or common across CCs of a CC group (e.g., versus default beams being configured or established for individual CCs). Such an established default beam of a CC group (e.g., a default beam common to all CCs of a CC group) may include or refer to a default downlink shared channel beam, a default sounding reference signal (SRS) beam, a default downlink control channel beam, etc.

The example method generally includes applying the uplink TCI state update to one or more uplink transmissions in accordance with the determination.

Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify, based at least in part on configuration information received from a base station, whether the UE is in a single-transmit receive point (TRP) mode or a multiple-TRP mode.

Abstract: Aspects relate to measuring and scheduling reference signals. A user equipment (UE) detects reference signals having overlapping resources, and determines a context associated with the reference signals. A Layer 1 (L1) measurement is then performed of at least one reference signal according to a prioritization associated with the context. In another aspect, a network entity determines a scheduling of resources that enables a UE to prioritize performing an L1 measurement of a reference signal from a non-serving cell, and communicates with the UE according to the scheduling. In yet another aspect, a UE communicates with a gNb using transmission configuration indication (TCI) states associated with a corresponding control resource set (CORESET) pool of CORESETs. Beam failure detection (BFD) reference signals are then identified explicitly via a configuration signaling, or implicitly based on the TCI states. The BFD reference signals are then monitored to facilitate detecting a beam failure event.
