CONFIGURATION OF A REDUCED NUMBER OF TCI STATES IN RESPONSE TO BEAM FAILURE OVER A RANGE OF DIRECTIONS
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for improving beam management. An example method includes receiving, from a network entity, configuration information configuring the UE with a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, wherein the configured set of TCI states comprises a first number of TCI states for use in communicating with the network entity, detecting a change in an operation mode of the UE from a first operation mode to a second operation mode, and transmitting, based on the detected change in the operation mode of the UE, information to the network entity indicating the UE will monitor and report on a reduced second number of TCI states of the configured set of TCI states relative to the first number of TCI states.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR BEAM INDICATION IN A UNIFIED TRANSMISSION CONTROL INDICATOR (TCI) FRAMEWORK
A user equipment (UE) includes a set of one or more transceivers and a processor. The processor is configured to determine, at least partly from a transmission control indicator (TCI) state for multiple channels, that common physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs) do not share a beam with dedicated PDSCHs. The processor is also configured to determine a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)/PDSCH scheduling offset is below a threshold; select, at least partly based on the determination that common PDSCHs do not share a beam with dedicated PDSCHs and the determination the PDCCH/PDSCH scheduling offset is below the threshold, a beam for which to buffer PDSCH; and buffer PDSCH received on the beam.
Beam training for bi-directional full-duplex sidelink communication
The apparatus may be a first UE. The first UE may determine a first set of candidate BPLs associated with a first SL and a second set of candidate BPLs associated with a second SL. The first UE may further determine a configuration for FD beam training based on the determined first set of candidate BPLs and the determined second set of candidate BPLs, the FD beam training configuration may include multiple instances for which the first UE transmits and receives RS at a same time. The apparatus may also select, based on the determined FD beam training configuration, a first BPL in the first set of candidate BPLs for the first SL and a second BPL in the second set of candidate BPLs for the second SL. The first UE may establish FD communication with the second UE based on the selected first BPL and the selected second BPL.
MULTI-ACCESS-POINT COORDINATION PER TXOP FRAME SEQUENCE WITH PER STATION FEEDBACK SCHEDULING
The technical solutions are directed to coordinated beamforming per-TXOP frame sequence negotiation. A first access point (AP) can transmit, to a second AP and a first candidate set of stations, a first message to initiate transmission opportunity (TXOP) and a CBF request. The second AP can transmit a second message to a second candidate set of stations of the second AP identified to participate in the TXOP with a CBF response responsive to the CBF request. The first AP, responsive to receiving the CBF response, can transmit to the second AP a third message having a CBF trigger comprising information to synchronize a CBF transmission to be communicated during the TXOP.
MULTI-ACCESS-POINT COORDINATION PER TXOP FRAME SEQUENCE WITH POST STATION FEEDBACK SCHEDULING
At least one aspect of the technical solutions can be directed to a system. The system can include a first access point (AP) that can be configured to transmit, to a second AP that can be capable of participating in coordinated beamforming (CBF) and a first candidate set of stations of the first AP, a first message to initiate transmission opportunity (TXOP). The second AP can be configured to transmit a second message to the first AP and a second candidate set of stations of second AP identified to participate in the TXOP. The second AP can be configured to transmit a third message having a CFB response to the first AP. The first AP can be configured to transmit a fourth message to second AP having a CBF trigger that can include information on a preamble of a CBF transmission to be communicated during the TXOP.
COMMUNICATION METHOD BASED ON CHANGE IN SHAPE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR
An electronic device may comprise: a first cover; a second cover coupled to the first cover and configured to perform a sliding operation; a rollable display including a first display area visible in a rolled state and a second display area unrolled in response to the sliding operation of the second cover; a first antenna including a plurality of first antenna elements disposed in the first display area of the rollable display; a second antenna including a plurality of second antenna elements disposed in the second display area of the rollable display; and a processor. The processor may be configured to: form a plurality of directional beams using the first antenna based on a first beam table in a rolled state of the rollable display, and to form a plurality of directional beams using at least a part of the second antenna elements and the first antenna based on a second beam table based on the size of a visible area of the rollable display increasing from the rolled state.
Sidelink unified transmission configuration indicator state
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a first user equipment (UE) may transmit, to a second UE, an indication of at least one sidelink unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state, wherein the at least one sidelink unified TCI state includes at least one of: a joint forward link and reverse link TCI state, a separate forward link TCI state, or a separate reverse link TCI state. The first UE may communicate with the second UE on at least one of the forward link or the reverse link based at least in part on the indication of the sidelink unified TCI state. Numerous other aspects are described.
User equipment beam management
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify a slot or a symbol where a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for a Procedure 2 (P2) resource is to be scheduled. The UE may schedule a candidate UE beam or a serving UE beam for the slot or the symbol. The UE may measure a spectral efficiency associated with the P2 resource. The UE may prepare a report that indicates one or more characteristics of the candidate UE beam or the serving UE beam. Numerous other aspects are described.
METHODS ON BEAM PREDICTION FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
A method performed by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) may compromise: transmitting, to a base station, Rx beam capability information; determining a Rx beam ID for each of one or more Rx beams of the WTRU; receiving, from the base station, information indicating a first reference signal (RS) resource set and a second RS resource set; determining an association between the first RS resource set and second RS resource set and one or more Tx beam IDs; determining a preferred beam pair, including a preferred Rx beam and preferred Tx beam; and transmitting, to the base station, information indicating a beam pair ID of the preferred beam pair.
