TECHNIQUES FOR SIGNALING A COMMON DOWNLINK AND UPLINK BEAM

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive, from a base station, a first downlink control information (DCI) message scheduling a first transmission between the UE and the base station. The first DCI message may include an indication of a first beam associated with the first transmission and a second beam associated with a second transmission, where the second beam is associated with the first beam. The UE may then communicate with the base station via the second beam associated with the second transmission based on the first DCI message including the indication of the second beam, where the second transmission is scheduled by a second message different from the first DCI message.
