Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) with the capability to support a single active TCI state may receive configuration signaling which configures the UE with an active transmission configuration indication (TCI) state corresponding to a first beam for a control resource set and a shared data channel. The UE may perform a random access channel procedure to select a second beam from a set of different beams. The UE may update a quasi co-location (QCL) assumption for the control resource set to correspond to the second beam and deactivate the active TCI state based on updating the QCL assumption. The UE may then monitor the control resource set, the shared data channel, or both, using the second beam. The UE may deactivate the TCI state and use the indicated downlink beam so that the UE does not exceed its capability.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to cell recovery techniques. One example method generally includes receiving, at a user-equipment (UE), at least one pilot signal via a secondary cell, receive, via a primary cell, a first message triggering reporting of at least one preferred beam for communication via the secondary cell, determining the preferred beam based on the at least one pilot signal, transmitting, via the primary cell, a report indicating the at least one preferred beam, and communicating data via the secondary cell and via the preferred beam.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive configuration information identifying a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state mode, wherein the TCI state mode is a first TCI state mode or a second TCI state mode. The UE may communicate using a beam associated with the TCI state mode. Numerous other aspects are described.

A method of a terminal may comprise: receiving, from a base station, DCI including a first field indicating HARQ-ACK retransmission and a second field indicating a priority; identifying first HARQ-ACK information having a priority identical to the priority indicated by the second field; and transmitting, to the base station, a first HARQ-ACK codebook including the first HARQ-ACK information based on the indication of the first field.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first device may transmit, to a second device in the wireless network, a first indication of a sequence of one or more beam training phases for a beam training procedure between the first device and the second device. The first device may receive, from the second device, a second indication corresponding to the beam training procedure in response to transmitting the first indication. Both devices may communicate, based on the first and second indications, one or more signals with the second device via one or more communication beams to perform the one or more beam training phases as part of the beam training procedure, the communicating the one or more signals in accordance with the sequence of the one or more beam training phases.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method and an apparatus for grouping a plurality of beams into a plurality of beam groups in a wireless communication system supporting Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) are provided. The method includes determining at least one preferred beam set, based on a channel between a plurality of transmission beams of a Base Station (BS) and a plurality of reception beams of a Mobile Station (MS), transmitting information on the at least one preferred beam set, to the BS, generating information indicating interference that at least one transmission beam of the BS exerts to the MS, based on a preferred reception beam comprised in the at least one preferred beam set, and transmitting the generated interference information to the BS.

A method for a wireless communications system is disclosed. In one example, user equipment (UE) maintains at least one serving beam, and uses a serving beam to perform an uplink (UL) transmission of data. The data is stored in an uplink hybrid automatic repeat request (UL HARQ) buffer. When there is a failure to track the serving beam, a beam recovery procedure is initialized. After successful completion of the beam recovery procedure, the UE retransmits the data stored in the UL HARQ buffer. The UE prevents the data from being flushed from the UL HARQ buffer when the failure to track the serving beam occurs, so that the data can be retransmitted.

The present disclosure relates to a 5G or a pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data rate following 4G communication systems such as LTE. In accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method of a base station includes: checking an operation mode depending on whether beam sweeping is supported, transmitting a signal related to the operation mode to a terminal, and performing communication with the terminal according to the operation mode.

Some demonstrative embodiments include devices, systems and/or methods to establish a connection to the Internet via a local gateway (L-GW) function for a LIPA or a SIPTO@LN. The establishment of the connection to the Internet may be performed, for example, by at least one of an E-RAB SETUP procedure, an INITIAL CONTEXT SETUP procedure, an INITIAL UE MESSAGE procedure or an UPLINK NAS TRANSPORT procedure.

A system, apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for providing autonomous beam switching for user equipment (UE) within a cell coverage area of a high-altitude platform station (HAPS) network device, the HAPS network device may be caused the HAPS network device to, determine beam layer information corresponding to the plurality of beam layers; transmit the beam layer information to the at least one UE; receive an autonomous beam switch request from the at least one UE in response to the transmitted beam layer information, the request including beam switch parameters; determine a selected beam layer based on the beam switch parameters; and enable communication with the at least one UE using the selected beam layer.
