TIME DIVISION MULTIPLEXING MAPPING OF TRANSMISSION CONFIGURATION INDICATOR STATES TO A CONTROL CHANNEL

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some wireless communications systems, a base station may transmit a control channel such as a PDCCH using one or more control resource sets (CORESETs). A CORESET may be associated with a number of different transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states which may specify information that a UE may use to receive the PDCCH. In some cases, the UE may identify an association between resources of the CORESET and a number of TCI states assigned to a CORESET using various different multiplexing techniques, such as time division multiplexing (TDM). Some associations between the resources of the CORESET and the TCI states may include a mapping of the resources of the CORESET to the different TCI states. The UE may decode the PDCCH based on the different TDM techniques used to configure the CORESET.
