Summary of Agreements by Topic
Enhancements on Multi-beam Operation
- Unified TCI Framework:
- Support for joint and separate DL/UL TCI states.
- DL TCI state pool includes all valid target DL RSs based
on Rel-15/16 QCL rules.
- UL TCI state pool may include SRS resources or resource
sets for beam management.
- Common TCI state ID update and activation supported for
intra-band CA.
- Beam Indication:
- DCI formats 1_1/1_2 without DL assignment supported for
beam indication.
- ACK/NACK mechanism used for beam indication
acknowledgment.
- Application time for beam indication set to the first
slot after acknowledgment.
- Advanced Beam Refinement/Tracking:
- Focus on latency reduction and beam measurement/reporting
enhancements.
- Candidate schemes include UE-initiated beam selection and
aperiodic beam measurement/reporting.
- Path-loss Measurement:
- PL-RS included or associated with UL TCI state or joint
TCI state.
- UE capability introduced for handling beam misalignment
between DL source RS and PL-RS.
- Inter-cell Beam Management:
- Support for MAC-CE and/or DCI-based beam indication for
inter-cell mobility.
- DL QCL and UL spatial relation rules extended to
inter-cell scenarios.
- Multi-beam Measurement/Reporting:
- Support for reporting up to K=4 beams associated with
non-serving cells in a single CSI reporting instance.
Enhancements for Multi-TRP Deployment
- PUCCH and PUSCH Enhancements:
- Support for multi-TRP intra-slot repetition for PUCCH
formats.
- Dynamic switching between single-TRP and multi-TRP modes
indicated via new DCI fields.
- A-CSI Multiplexing:
- A-CSI multiplexed on the first PUSCH repetition
corresponding to each TRP when no TB is carried.
- Power Control:
- Enhanced open-loop power control parameter indication for
multi-TRP PUSCH.
- PHR Reporting:
- Study ongoing for calculating and reporting PHRs for
multi-TRP PUSCH repetition.
Enhancements on Beam Management for Multi-TRP
- Beam Reporting:
- Maximum number of beam groups in a single CSI-report set
as a UE capability.
- TRP-specific BFR:
- Support for configuration of up to 2 PUCCH-SR resources
in a cell group.
Enhancements on HST-SFN Deployment
- SFN Transmission:
- Enhanced SFN PDCCH transmission identified by the number
of activated TCI states.
- QCL Assumptions:
- Variant A supported for QCL assumptions when DMRS ports
are associated with two TCI states.
CSI Enhancements: MTRP and FR1 FDD Reciprocity
- Port Selection Codebook:
- Maximal CSI-RS port number set to Pmax = 32.
- Compression Coefficient:
- Values of Beta for non-zero coefficients of W2 include
{1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1}.
- PMI/RI Sharing:
- Study ongoing for enabling/disabling PMI/RI sharing
between NCJT and single-TRP CSI hypotheses.
- Dynamic Updating:
- Study ongoing for dynamic updating of CMR pairs, TCI
states, and single-TRP CSIs in NCJT CSI reports.
Other Topics
- UE Capability Reporting:
- UE capability introduced for maximum number of TCI state
pools across BWPs and CCs.
- Specification Impact:
- Study ongoing for prioritizing CSI hypotheses, updating
CSI omission rules, and reducing UCI payload.
