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

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a base station may transmit to a user equipment (UE) over a control channel (e.g., a downlink control channel) and the UE may monitor for the control channel in a control resource set (COREST). The control channel and the CORESET may be associated with a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states. The base station and the UE may identify an association between the resources of the CORESET and the set of TCI states based on a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) mapping between the resources of the CORESET and the set of TCI states. In some examples, the association may be a fixed rule at the UE. In other examples, the base station may signal the association to the UE via control signaling. The UE may decode the control channel based on the FDM mapping.
