SIDELINK CARRIER AGGREGATION FOR BEAMFORMING AND PATHLOSS REFERENCE SIGNALS

Abstract:

Aspects relate to mechanisms for wireless communication devices to update transmission configuration indicator states (TCI-states), spatial relation indicators (SRs), or pathloss reference signals (PL-RSs) for a group of two or more component carriers (CCs) for multi-component carrier communication. A base station may generate a message indicating one or more TCI-states, one or more SRs, or one or more PL-RSs to utilize for multi-CC communication. The message may include an index identifying a group of two or more CCs of a plurality of access CCs or a plurality of sidelink CCs associated with the one or more TCI-states, the one or more SRs, or the one or more PL-RSs. A user equipment (UE) may receive the message and update the one or more TCI-states, the one or more SRs, or the one or more PL-RSs for the group of two or more CC for the multi-CC communication based on the message.
