  • Publication number: 20240250739
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) detects beam failure associated with a transmission/reception point (TRP) of a plurality of TRPs transmitting to the UE. Each TRP is associated with separate Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources for beam failure recovery (BFR). The UE applies, in response to detecting, a BFR procedure across PUCCH resources of the TRPs. In some aspects, the procedure is described by a single set of parameters/variable (s) across the PUCCH resources. Further, each of a plurality of TRPs transmits to a UE on a beam. A first of the TRPs receives, from the UE, a scheduling request (SR) in BFR PUCCH resources. The SR indicates that an uplink grant is requested by the UE to transmit beam failure information for at least one failed beam of the TRPs. The SR is a result of a single BFR procedure applied by the UE across the PUCCH resources of the TRPs.

  • Patent number: 12047930
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques that may allow a base station and user equipment (UE) to be in agreement on spatial quasi co-location (QCL) assumptions for transmission in certain scenarios. The techniques may be used, for example, to determine QCL assumptions for downlink transmissions sent in an initial control resource set (CORESET) on an initial downlink bandwidth part (BWP) where dedicated signaling of such assumptions may be lacking. In some cases, the techniques may involve a UE determining a beam to use for monitoring for a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission on the initial CORESET in the initial downlink BWP that lacks dedicated signaling of QCL information and monitoring for the PDCCH on the initial CORESET in the initial BWP using the determined beam. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
