METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING PHYSICAL CELL IDENTIFICATION

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure include methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for receiving a layer 1 signaling or a layer 2 signaling indicating a subset of a plurality of physical cell identifications (PCIs) associated with a plurality of serving cells in the network, establishing a plurality of communication channels with one or more of transmission-reception points (TRPs), wherein each TRP of the one or more TRPs comprises a corresponding PCI of the plurality of PCIs, and determining one or more PCIs of the plurality of PCIs used as one or more default input cell identifications (IDs) associated with a plurality of physical processings, when no explicit configured input ID is signaled to the UE associated with the plurality of physical processings.
