A communication method and a system for converging a 5.sup.th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4.sup.th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT) are provided. The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for supporting transmission and reception to a plurality of TRPs, and a method and apparatus for updating PDSCH beam information of several serving cells together in a CA situation.

Example implementations include a method, apparatus and computer-readable medium of wireless communication. A user equipment (UE) may receive a downlink control information (DCI) indicating two or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The UE may differentiate that the two or more TCI states apply to all demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports or all transmission layers across all resource blocks and symbols for the PDSCH from TCI states that apply to different sets of DMRS ports or different sets of resource blocks or symbols. The UE may generate a composite quasi-co-location (QCL) based on the two or more TCI states in response to the differentiating. The UE may receive the PDSCH based on the composite QCL.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may receive downlink data that is associated with triggering a feedback message; transmit, before receiving the feedback message for the downlink data at a component of the user equipment, a scheduling request to request an allocation of a set of resources for transmitting the feedback message; and transmit the feedback message in connection with the set of resources. Numerous other aspects are provided.
