In a mmW network, a UE and a base station may establish a link using a RACH procedure. A base station may transmit, in a beamformed signal, a message to a UE during a RACH procedure. The message to the UE may include a value indicating a request for beam information. The base station may receive a message from the UE during the RACH procedure that includes a beam information report comprising the beam information.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for control channel resource grouping and spatial relation configuration. Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method of wireless communication by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes receiving an indication of one or more groupings of one or more control channel resources within a configured bandwidth. Each grouping is associated with a spatial relation. The UE applies a spatial relation for a control channel transmission using one or more control channel resources in a grouping of the one or more groupings. The grouping is associated with the spatial relation.

The present disclosure provides a method in a wireless device, for handling spatial relations for Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources belonging to different PUCCH groups or PUCCH resource configuration groups. The method comprises: receiving, from a network node, a command to activate or deactivate a spatial relation for a PUCCH resource, wherein each PUCCH of the different PUCCH groups is uniquely identified in the command; and performing one of activating and deactivating a spatial relation for the PUCCH resource identified in the command. A wireless device for implementing this method is also provided.

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication including a UE and a base station. The UE can receive a MAC CE indicating an update to a spatial relation configuration of the UE for PUCCH transmissions. In some aspects, the update can be indicated by PUCCH resource information, where the PUCCH resource information can include first PUCCH resource information including a first PUCCH resource ID that identifies a first PUCCH resource and first spatial identification information. Additionally, the UE can update the spatial relation configuration of the UE based on at least one of the first PUCCH resource information or other PUCCH resource information of the PUCCH resource information, where the other PUCCH resource information can be in a same PUCCH resource group as the first PUCCH resource. Also, the UE can transmit a PUCCH transmission based on the updated spatial relation configuration.

A beam information determining method includes: determining a candidate beam information pool of a first set, where the first set includes at least one downlink channel and at least one uplink channel, or the first set includes at least one channel and at least one reference signal; and the candidate beam information pool includes at least one piece of candidate beam information; and determining, based on the candidate beam information pool, beam information of at least one of a first channel or a first reference signal that are included in the first set.

A wireless device may detect a beam failure of a serving beam set. In response to detecting the beam failure, the wireless device may select a first candidate beam set from candidate beam sets based on a priority order of the candidate beam sets, wherein each candidate beam set, of the candidate beam sets, comprises reference signals (RSs). The wireless device may select a first candidate RS from candidate RSs associated with the first candidate beam set based on a channel quality of the first candidate RS being greater than a threshold. The wireless device may transmit a preamble associated with the first candidate RS for beam failure recovery.

To reduce the beam reporting latency, a base station may include a sounding reference signal (SRS) indication to a wireless communication device (UE) as part of the transmission configuration information (TCI) transmitted to the UE, allowing the UE to receive a corresponding downlink signal using the same beam (or with the same beam) the UE used to transmit (or with which the UE transmitted) the SRS indicated in the TCI. The SRS may be one of multiple SRSs previously transmitted by the UE. The UE may transmit the multiple SRSs periodically and/or according to semi-persistent scheduling, or it may transmit them aperiodically. Therefore, the UE does not need to report the beam quality, and the base station may perform the necessary beam measurement(s) instead. Various parameters and conditions may be defined for the UE to support SRS-based TCI.

Embodiments of this application disclose beam training methods, apparatuses, and systems. One method includes: receiving, from a network device, interference-related information; receiving, from the network device, a downlink signal sent through two or more beams, wherein the two or more beams comprise an interfering beam that causes interference to a terminal device; and transmitting, to the network device, information related to a beam selected from the two or more beams, wherein the beam is selected by the terminal device based on the interference-related information and a measurement result obtained from measuring the downlink signal.

A Method of scrambling reference signals, device and user equipment using the method are provided. In the method, a plurality of layers of reference signals assigned on predetermined radio resource of a plurality of layers of resource blocks with the same time and frequency resources are scrambled, the method comprising: an orthogonalizing step of multiplying each layer of reference signal selectively by one of a plurality of orthogonal cover codes (OCCs) with the same length wherein the OCC multiplied to a first layer of reference signal can be configured as different from those multiplied to other layers of reference signals; and a scrambling step of multiplying all of symbols obtained from the OCC multiplied to each of the other layers of reference signals by a symbol-common scrambling sequence wherein the symbol-common scrambling sequences can be different from each other for reference signals multiplied by the same OCC.

The present invention relates to a network device, a user equipment, a wireless communication method and a storage medium. The network device comprises a processing circuit, configured to: provide to the user equipment a transmitted beam for sending an uplink signal from a plurality of transmitted beams on a plurality of antenna boards of the user equipment, and generate configuration information which indicates the transmitted beam for sending the uplink signal. By means of the network device, the user equipment, the wireless communication method and the storage medium, the network device can inform the user equipment of the selected uplink transmitted beam in the case that the user equipment is provided with a plurality of antenna boards, so as to optimize the process of determining the uplink transmitted beam.
