    Abstract: In an embodiment, a base station determines a spatial relationship for a group of PUCCH resources, and transmits a control message that indicates the spatial relationship to a UE. The UE receives the control message and stores an indication of the spatial relationship. In some designs, the control message conveying the spatial relationship identifies the group of PUCCH resources via the PUCCH group index, while in other designs a different identification mechanism may be used. In another embodiment, a base station determines an association between a group of PUCCH resources and a PUCCH group index, and transmits a control message that indicates the association to a UE. The UE receives the control message and stores an indication of the association.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication including an apparatus, e.g., a UE and/or a base station. The apparatus can receive SSB grouping information associated with one or more SSB groups, each of the one or more SSB groups including one or more TRPs. The apparatus can also receive at least one of TCI information or QCL information, each of the TCI information and the QCL information indicating an SSB of the one or more SSB groups that is associated with a downlink Tx beam for downlink data or an uplink Rx beam for uplink data. Additionally, the apparatus can communicate the downlink data from or the uplink data to TRPs in a same SSB group or TRPs in different SSB groups based on at least one of the SSB grouping information, the TCI information, or the QCL information.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to techniques for set based beam reporting. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, an indication of one or more sets of candidate beams, where each set of candidate beams includes a first beam combination and a second beam combination. The first beam combination may include a first beam as a channel measurement resource (CMR) and a second beam as an interference measurement resource (IMR), and the second beam combination may include the second beam as a CMR and the first beam as an IMR. The UE may determine measurement values for beam combinations in the sets and determine a candidate set to report based at least in part on the measurement values. The UE may transmit a measurement report with measurement values for the first and second beam combinations of the candidate set.
