    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: In one aspect, a method includes determining a first SSB burst set information corresponding to a first PCI; determining a second SSB burst set information corresponding to a second PCI, the second PCI different from the first PCI; and monitoring at least a first SSB from the first SSB burst set and at least a second SSB from the second SSB burst set. In another aspect, a method includes determining a number of RSRP reports to send based a CSI report request; transmitting a first RSRP report for a first beam of a plurality of beams, the first beam associated with a first group of beams of a plurality of groups; and transmitting a second RSRP report for a second beam of the plurality of beams, the second beam associated with a second group of beams of the plurality of groups.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. Aspects include configuring a user equipment (UE) to receive control signals from a first transmission reception point (TRP) and a second TRP. A first TRP may transmit a control signal to the UE indicating resources for receiving a medium access control element (MAC-CE), where the control signal includes an indication that associates the MAC-CE with the first TRP. The first TRP may transmit the MAC-CE to the UE which may include a beam update indication for the first TRP. The UE may transmit an acknowledgement to the first TRP based on receiving the MAC-CE. The UE may also transmit an acknowledgment to the second TRP indicating that it has received a beam update indication from the first TRP. In some cases, the first TRP may send a MAC-CE signal to the UE including beam update information for the second TRP.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may operate in a multi-transmission/reception point (TRP) mode, where the multi-TRP mode includes monitoring a plurality of control channels and where each of the plurality of control channels may be associated with a TRP. The UE may operate in a first control channel monitoring state of the multi-TRP mode, where the UE may be configured to monitor a first control channel of a first TRP. The UE may identify an indication to switch from the first control channel monitoring state to a second control channel monitoring state of the multi-TRP mode. The UE may switch, based on the indication, to the second control channel monitoring state, where the UE may be configured to monitor the first control channel of the first TRP and monitor a second control channel of the second TRP.
