    Abstract: A repeater configured to receive, on a side control channel from a component of a network, side control information including parameters at least for determining time domain resources on which to apply an indicated beam for uplink (UL) transmission reception or downlink (DL) transmission forwarding with a user equipment (UE) on an access link, determine, from the received parameters, whether to apply the indicated beam to a transmission (Tx) spatial filter, a reception (Rx) spatial filter, or both the Tx and Rx spatial filters and apply the indicated beam to the determined Tx spatial filter, Rx spatial filter, or both the Tx and Rx spatial filters for the determined time domain resources when forwarding the DL transmission to the UE or receiving the UL transmission from the UE for forwarding to the network.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may establish communication with a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs) and determine one or more beam failures associated with a first or second TRP based on reference signals received from the first and second TRPs. The UE may then transmit a scheduling request requesting resources for indicating the beam failures associated with the first TRP or second TRPs. Upon receiving a response to the scheduling request allocating resources, the UE may then transmit, using allocated resources, a beam failure indication of the first one or more beam failures associated with the first TRP or second TRP. After receiving a beam failure response from the first or second TRP, the UE may then communicate with the first TRP and the second TRP using one or more new beams based on the beam failure indication and the beam failure response.
