USER EQUIPMENT CAPABILITY AND ENABLEMENT INDICATION FOR DOWNLINK CONTROL INFORMATION (DCI) BASED BEAM AND PATH LOSS (PL) REFERENCE SIGNAL (RS) ACTIVATION

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus, methods, processing systems, and computer readable mediums for enabling downlink control information (DCI) based beam and path loss (PL) reference signal (RS) activation. An example method generally includes reporting, to a network entity, a capability of the UE to support at least one of downlink control information (DCI) based activation of at least one of beam switching, beam activation, or path loss (PL) reference signal (RS) activation; receiving, from the network entity, DCI activating at least one of the beam switching, beam activation, or PL RS; and performing the beam switching, beam activation, or PL RS measurement in response to the DCI.
