    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for mapping transmission configuration indication (TCI) states to demodulation reference signal (DMRS) ports groups in a wireless network. For instance, a TCI state to DMRS ports group mapping of a user equipment (UE) can be determined. Each DMRS port in a DMRS ports group shares a quasi-co-location (QCL) assumption. The TCI state to DMRS ports group mapping comprises multiple TCI state groups. The TCI state to DMRS ports group mapping corresponds each TCI state group to one or more DMRS ports groups. A TCI state group from the DMRS ports group mapping can be selected for the UE. Data indicative of the selected TCI state group and the corresponding one or more DMRS ports groups can be provided to the UE based at least in part on the TCI state group from the DMRS ports group mapping.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques for adjusting a user equipment (UE) processing time parameter in a wireless communication system that include transmission and reception points (TRPs) are described. A described technique performed by UE includes receiving a first physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from a first TRP corresponding to a first scheduling physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) and a second PDSCH from a second TRP corresponding to a second scheduling PDCCH. The technique further includes transmitting a first hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) message and a second HARQ-ACK message based on the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH in accordance with a first processing time parameter and a second processing time parameter, respectively. The first processing time parameter can be based on a PDSCH mapping type, a processing capability of the UE, and one or more timing characteristics of the first PDSCH and the second PDSCH.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can include processing circuitry configured to decode control information of a physical down-in link control channel (PDCCH) received via a resource within a control resource set (CORESET) occupying a subset of a plurality of e OFDM symbols within a slot. At least one of the symbols in the subset coincides with a pre-defined symbol location associated with a demodulation reference signal (DM-RS) of a PDSCH. The DM-RS can be detected within the slot, the DM-RS starting at a symbol 01 location that is shifted from the pre-defined symbol location and following the subset of symbols. Downlink data scheduled by the
    PDCCH and received via the PDSCH can be decoded, where the decoding is based on the detected DM-RS.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, and techniques for antenna port configuration in wireless communication systems are described. A described technique performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving configuration information that determines a bit-width value for an antenna port indication field of a downlink control information (DCI) format; receiving a DCI message that is in accordance with the DCI format; and determining an antenna port configuration for one or more demodulation reference signals based on the DCI message, the configuration information, and the bit-width value.

    Abstract: Wireless communication systems can include multiple Transmission and Reception Points (TRPs). Systems, devices, and techniques for control signaling of Precoding Resource block Group (PRG) size configuration for multi-TRP operations are described. A described technique includes determining, by a User Equipment (UE), a PRG size based on a downlink control information (DCI) message that provides scheduling information for a physical ?downlink shared channel (PDSCH); receiving, by the UE, a group of PDSCH transmissions from multiple TRPs that are transmitted in accordance with the DCI message; and decoding, by the UE, one or more of the PDSCH transmissions based on the PRG size.
