SIGNALING-OVERHEAD REDUCTION WITH RESOURCE GROUPING

Abstract:

A configuration for configuring and updating the spatial relationship of multiple physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources in a single message, thereby reducing signaling overhead. A user equipment (UE) constructs a message associated with at least one of a plurality of component carriers (CCs) or a plurality of bandwidth parts (BWPs) indicating a same spatial relation for the at least one of the plurality of CCs or the plurality of BWPs. The UE transmits the message to a base station. The base station transmits a message to the UE configuring multiple spatial parameters for the at least one of the plurality of CCs, the plurality of BWPs, or a plurality of uplink/downlink resources.
