TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication, and to techniques and apparatuses for quasi-co-location (QCL) prioritization rules for control channel repetition. BACKGROUND

[0004] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems can employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, etc.). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE / LTE-Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3 GPP).

[0005] A wireless network can include a number of base stations (BSs) that can support communication for a number of user equipment (UEs). A UE can communicate with a BS via the downlink and uplink. “Downlink” (or forward link) refers to the communication from the BS to the UE, and “uplink” (or reverse link) refers to the communication from the UE to the BS. As will be described in more detail

[0006] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide common protocol that enables different wireless devices to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and even global level. NR, which can also be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband Internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink (DL), using CP- OFDM and / or SC-FDM (e.g., also known as discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink (UL), as well as supporting beamforming, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. However, as the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, there exists a need for further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to techniques for monitoring PDCCH repetitions with different TCI states. SUMMARY

[0112] Various aspects of the disclosure are described in further detail below. The disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. Based on the teachings herein one skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of, or combined with, any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus can be implemented or a method can be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such apparatus or method which are practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein can be embodied by one or more elements of a claim.

[0113] ​Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatus and methods. These apparatus and methods will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, etc. (collectively referred to as "elements"). These elements can be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system.

[0114] It should be noted that while aspects can be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or NR radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and / or a post-5G (e.g., 6G) RAT.

[0115] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 can be or can include elements of a 5G (NR) network and / or an LTE network among other examples. The wireless network 100 can include a number of base stations 110 (shown as BS 110a, BS 110b, BS 110c, and BS 1 lOd) and other network entities. A base station (BS) is an entity that communicates with user equipment (UE) and can also be referred to as an NR BS, a Node B, a gNB, a 5G node B (NB), an access point, a transmit receive point (TRP), and / or the like. Each BS can provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In 3GPP, the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a BS and / or a subsystem of a BS that serves the coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0116] BSs can be referred to as macro BSs, small cell BSs, femtocell BSs, picocell BSs, and / or the like. A BS can be a relay, repeater, and / or booster station controlled by a macro BS, for example. A BS can communicate with a user equipment (UE) on the Figure 1In the illustrated example, the BS 110a can be a macro BS for a macro cell 102a, the BS 110b can be a pico BS for a pico cell 102b, and the BS 110c can be a femto BS for a femto cell 102c. A BS can support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells. The terms “eNB,” “base station,” “NR BS,” “gNB,” “TRP,” “AP,” “Node B,” “5G NB,” and “cell” can be used interchangeably herein.

[0117] In some aspects, a cell can not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell can move according to the location of a mobile BS. In some aspects, BSs can be connected by various types of backhaul interfaces, such as a direct physical connection, or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network.

[0118] Wireless network 100 can also include relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a BS or a UE) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE or a BS). A relay station can also be a UE that can relay transmissions for other UEs. In Figure 1 In the illustrated example, a relay BS 1 lOd can communicate with macro BS 110a and a UE 120d in order to facilitate communications between the BS 110a and UE 120d. A relay BS can also be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a repeater, etc.

[0119] Wireless network 100 can be a heterogeneous network that includes BSs of different types, such as macro BSs, pico BSs, femto BSs, relay BSs, etc. These different types of BSs can have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and different impacts on interference. For example, macro BSs can have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 Watts), whereas pico BSs, femto BSs, and relay BSs can have relatively lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0.1 to 2 Watts).

[0120] A network controller 130 can couple to a set of BSs and can provide coordination and control for these BSs. Network controller 130 can be

[0121] The UEs 120 (e.g., 120a, 120b, 120c) can be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE can be stationary or mobile. A UE can also be referred to as an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, a subscriber unit, a station, etc. A UE can be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device or equipment, biometric sensors / devices, wearable devices (smart watches, smart clothing, smart glasses, smart wrist bands, smart jewelry (e.g., smart ring, smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music or video device, or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, a smart meter / sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless or wired medium.

[0122] Some UEs can be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. MTC and eMTC UEs include, for example, robots, drones, remote devices, sensors, meters, monitors, and / or location tags, etc., that can communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., remote device), or some other entity. A wireless node can provide, for example, connectivity for or to a network (e.g., a wide area network such as Internet or a cellular network) via a wired or wireless communication link. Some UEs can be considered Intemet-of-Things (IoT) devices, and / or can be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband

[0123] In general, any number of wireless networks can be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network can support a particular RAT and can operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT can also be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, etc. A frequency can also be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, etc. Each frequency can support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks can be deployed.

[0124] In some aspects, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) can communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using base station 110 as an intermediary). For example, UE 120 can utilize vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocols, vehicle-to- vehicle (V2V) protocols, vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocols, cell-to-cell (C2C) protocols, device-to-device (D2D) protocols, protocal, and / or the like. In this case, UE 120 can perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and / or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by base station 110.

[0125] Devices of wireless network 100 can communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which can be subdivided based on frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, and / or the like. For example, devices of wireless network 100 can communicate using an operating band having a first frequency range (FR1), which can span from 410 MHz to 7.125 GHz, and / or can communicate using an operating band having a second frequency range (FR2), which can span from 24.25 GHz to 52.6 GHz. The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are sometimes referred to as mid-band frequencies. Although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to as a “sub-6 GHz” band. Similarly, FR2 is often referred to as a “millimeter wave” band despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz to 300 GHz) which is also referred to as a “millimeter wave” band by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). Thus, unless specifically stated otherwise, the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like means frequencies less than 6 GHz, frequencies within FR1, and / or mid-band frequencies (e.g., greater than 7.125 GHz). Similarly, unless specifically stated otherwise, the term “millimeter wave” or the like means frequencies within the EHF band, frequencies within FR2, and / or mid-band frequencies (e.g., less than 24.25 GHz). It is contemplated that the frequencies included in FR1 and FR2 can be modified, and that the techniques described herein apply to those modified frequency ranges.

[0126] As indicated above, techniques are provided Figure 1 as examples. Other examples can vary Figure 1 from those described.

[0127] Figure 2is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a base station 110 in communication with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The base station 110 can be equipped with T antennas 234a through 234t, and the UE 120 can be equipped with R antennas 252a through 252r, where in general T > 1 and R > 1.

[0128] At the base station 110, a transmit processor 220 can receive data from a data source 212 for one or more UEs, select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) for each UE based at least in part on channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from the UE, process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for each UE based at least in part on the MCSs selected for the UE, and provide data symbols for all UEs. The transmit processor 220 can also process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and / or upper layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 can also generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) processor 230 can perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and / or the reference symbols, if applicable, and can provide T output symbol streams to T modulators (MODs) 232a through 232t. Each modulator 232 can process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modulator 232 can further process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. T downlink signals from modulators 232a through 232t can be transmitted via T antennas 234a through 234t, respectively.

[0129] At the UE 120, the antennas 252a-252r can receive the downlink signals from the base station 110 and / or other base stations and can provide received signals to the demodulators (DEMODs) 254a-254r, respectively. Each demodulator 254 can condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each demodulator 254 can further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 can obtain received symbols from all R demodulators 254a-254r, perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 can process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, provide decoded data for the UE 120 to a data sink 260, and provide decoded control information and system information to a controller / processor 280. The term “controller / processor” can refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or combinations thereof. A channel processor can determine reference signal received power (RSRP) parameters, received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameters, reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameters, and / or CQI parameters, among other examples. In some aspects, one or more components of UE 120 can be included in a housing 284.

[0130] The network controller 130 can include a communication unit 294, a controller / processor 290, and a memory 292. The network controller 130 can include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller 130 can communicate with the base station 110 via the communication unit 294.

[0131] Antennas (e.g., antennas 234a-234t and / or antennas 252a-252r) can include or be included in one or more antenna panels, antenna groups, antenna element sets, and / or antenna arrays, among other examples. An antenna panel, antenna group, antenna element set, and / or antenna array can include one or more antenna elements. An antenna panel, antenna group, antenna element set, and / or antenna array can include a set of co-planar antenna elements and / or a set of non-co-planar antenna elements. An antenna panel, antenna group, antenna element set, and / or antenna array can include antenna elements within a single housing and / or antenna elements within multiple housings. An antenna panel, antenna group, antenna element set, and / or antenna array can include one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmit and / or receive components (such as one or more components of a transceiver 264 and / or a wireless communication management component 270). Figure 2 An antenna panel, antenna group, antenna element set, and / or antenna array can include one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmit and / or receive components (such as one or more components of a transceiver 264 and / or a wireless communication management component 270).

[0132] On the uplink, at UE 120, a transmit processor 264 can receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and / or CQI) from controller / processor 280. Transmit processor 264 can also generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from transmit processor 264 can be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by modulators 254a through 254r (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to base station 110. In some aspects, a modulator and a demodulator (e.g., MOD / DEMOD 254) of the UE 120 can be included in a modem of the UE 120. In some aspects, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver can include any combination of antennas 252, modulators and / or demodulators 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, and / or TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver can be used by a processor (e.g., controller / processor 280) and memory 282 to perform any of the methods described herein.

[0133] At base station 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 and other UEs can be received by antennas 234, processed by demodulators 232, detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by UE 120. Receive processor 238 can provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and the decoded control information to controller / processor 240. Base station 110 can include communication unit 244 and communicate to network controller 130 via communication unit 244. Base station 110 can include scheduler 246 to schedule UEs 120 for downlink and / or uplink

In some aspects, the memory 242 and / or the memory 282 can include a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and / or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compiling, converting, and / or interpreting) by one or more processors of the base station 110 and / or the UE 120, can cause the one or more processors, the UE 120, and / or the base station 110 to perform or direct operations of, for example, Figure 9 the process 900 of FIG. 9, Figure 10 the process 1000 of FIG. 10, Figure 11 the process 1100 of FIG. 11, Figure 12 the process 1200 of FIG. 12, and / or other processes as described herein.

[0146] In some aspects, the base station includes means for selecting a CORESET of the first set of CORESETs based at least in part on a priority rule; and / or means for identifying a remaining portion of the CORESET based at least in part on the remaining portion of the CORESET having a same spatial QCL property as the selected CORESET.

[0147] In some aspects, the base station includes means for selecting a first set of CORESETs from a plurality of CORESETs based at least in part on a priority rule based at least in part on PDCCH repetition, wherein the first set of CORESETs includes a particular CORESET in which there is a PDCCH repetition that is linked with another PDCCH repetition in another CORESET that at least partially overlaps with the first CORESET; and / or means for selecting a second set of CORESETs to include the other CORESET.

[0148] In some aspects, the base station includes means for selecting a first set of CORESETs to include a first CORESET based at least in part on the first CORESET including a first PDCCH repetition; and / or means for selecting a second set of CORESETs to include a second CORESET based at least in part on the second CORESET including a second PDCCH repetition.

[0149] In some aspects, the base station includes means for receiving information indicating that the UE is capable of synchronously communicating using at least two spatial QCL properties, wherein the configuration information is based at least in part on the information indicating that the UE is capable of synchronously communicating using at least two spatial QCL properties.

[0150] In some aspects, a base station includes means for transmitting, to a UE, configuration information indicating a PDCCH repetition indicating a link between a first CORESET and a second CORESET, wherein the second CORESET is included in a plurality of CORESETs having at least two different QCL properties associated with overlapping monitoring occasions; and / or means for transmitting a selected CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs using a selected spatial QCL property corresponding to the selected CORESET, wherein the selected CORESET is selected based at least in part on a priority rule based at least in part on the link between the first CORESET and the second CORESET. Means for a base station to perform operations described herein can include, for example, one or more of transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, modulator 232, antenna 234, demodulator 232, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller / processor 240, memory 242, or scheduler 246.

[0151] As indicated above, there is provided Figure 2 as examples. Other examples can vary from those described Figure 2 without departing from the scope of the disclosure.

[0152] Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating an example resource structure 300 for wireless communication, in accordance with the present disclosure. The resource structure 300 illustrates examples of various resource groups described herein. As shown, the resource structure 300 can include subframes 305. The subframes 305 can include a number of slots 310. Although the resource structure 300 is shown including 2 slots per subframe, a different number of slots (e.g., 4 slots, 8 slots, 16 slots, 32 slots, or other number of slots) can be included in one subframe. In some aspects, different types of transmission time intervals (TTIs) can be used instead of subframes and / or slots. The slots 310 can include a number of symbols 315, such as 14 symbols per slot.

[0153] The potential control region of the slot 310 can be referred to as a CORESET 320 and can be structured to support efficient use of resources, such as by flexible configuration or reconfiguration of resources in the CORESET 320 for one or more PDCCHs and / or one or more physical downlink shared channels (PDSCHs). In some aspects, the CORESET 320 can occupy the first symbol 315 of the slot 310, the first two symbols 315 of the slot 310, or the first three symbols 315 of the slot 310. Thus, the CORESET 320 can include a number of resource blocks (RBs) in the frequency domain and one, two, or three symbols 315 in the time domain. In 5G, the number of resources included in the CORESET 320 can be flexibly configured, such as by using radio resource control (RRC) signaling to indicate a frequency domain region (e.g., number of resource blocks) and / or a time domain region (e.g., number of symbols) of the CORESET 320.

[0154] As shown, the symbols 315 including the CORESET 320 can include one or more control channel elements (CCEs) 325, shown as two CCEs 325 by way of example, spanning a portion of the system bandwidth. The CCEs 325 can include downlink control information (DCI) that provides control information for wireless communication. The base station can transmit the DCI during a number of CCEs 325 (as shown), where the number of CCEs 325 used for transmission of the DCI represents an aggregation level (AL) used by the BS for the DCI transmission. In Figure 3 In the example shown, an aggregation level of two is shown, which corresponds to two CCEs 325 in the slot 310. In some aspects, different aggregation levels can be used, such as 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or another aggregation level.

[0155] Each CCE 325 can include a fixed number of resource element groups (REGs) 330 (shown as 6 REGs 330), or can include a variable number of REGs 330. In some aspects, the number of REGs 330 included in a CCE 325 can be specified by a REG bundling size. The REGs 330 can include one resource block, which can include 12 resource elements (REs) 335 within a symbol 315. The resource elements 335 can occupy one subcarrier in the frequency domain and one OFDM symbol in the time domain.

[0156] The search space can include all possible locations where the PDCCH might be located (e.g., in time and / or frequency). CORESET 320 can include one or more search spaces, such as a UE-specific search space, a group common search space, and / or a common search space. A search space can indicate the set of CCE locations where the UE can find a PDCCH that can potentially be used to send control information to the UE. The possible locations of the PDCCH can depend on whether the PDCCH is a UE-specific PDCCH (e.g., for a single UE) or a group common PDCCH (e.g., for multiple UEs) and / or the aggregation level being used. Possible locations of the PDCCH (e.g., in time and / or frequency) can be referred to as PDCCH candidates, and the set of all possible PDCCH locations under an aggregation level can be referred to as the search space. For example, the set of all possible PDCCH locations for a specific UE can be referred to as the UE-specific search space. Similarly, the set of all possible PDCCH locations across all UEs can be referred to as the common search space. The set of all possible PDCCH locations for a specific group of UEs can be referred to as the group common search space. One or more search spaces across an aggregation level can be referred to as a search space (SS) set.

[0157] CORESET 320 can be interleaved or non-interleaved. An interleaved CORESET 320 can have a CCE-to-REG mapping such that adjacent CCEs are mapped to a dispersed REG bundle in the frequency domain (e.g., adjacent CCEs are not mapped to consecutive REG bundles in the CORESET 320). A non-interleaved CORESET 320 can have a CCE-to-REG mapping such that all CCEs are mapped to consecutive REG bundles in the CORESET 320 (e.g., in the frequency domain).

[0158] As indicated above, providing Figure 3 As an example, other examples can be found in the reference. Figure 3 The descriptions are different.

[0159] Figure 4 This is a diagram illustrating example 400 of communication between a base station and a UE using beamforming according to this disclosure. Figure 4 As shown, base station 110 and UE 120 can communicate with each other.

[0160] The base stations 110 can transmit to UEs 120 that are located within a coverage area of the base stations 110. The base stations 110 and the UEs 120 can be configured to communicate using beamformed communications, where the base stations 110 can transmit in the direction of a UE 120 using a directional BS transmit beam and the UE 120 can receive transmissions using a directional UE receive beam. Each BS transmit beam can have an associated beam ID, beam direction, or beam symbol, among other examples. The base stations 110 can transmit downlink communications via one or more BS transmit beams 405.

[0161] The UE 120 can attempt to receive the downlink transmissions via one or more UE receive beams 410, which can be configured using different beamforming parameters at the receive circuitry of the UE 120. The UE 120 can identify a particular BS transmit beam 405 (shown as BS transmit beam 405-A) and a particular UE receive beam 410 (shown as UE receive beam 410-A) that provide a relatively favorable performance (e.g., that have a best channel quality of different measurement combinations of BS transmit beams 405 and UE receive beams 410). In some examples, the UE 120 can transmit an indication of which BS transmit beam 405 is identified by the UE 120 as a preferred BS transmit beam, and the base station 110 can select that preferred BS transmit beam for transmissions to the UE 120. The UE 120 can thus determine and maintain a beam pair link (BPL) with the base station 110 for downlink communications (e.g., a combination of BS transmit beam 405-A and UE receive beam 410-A), which can be further refined and maintained according to one or more established beam refinement procedures.

[0162] Downlink beams such as BS transmit beams 405 or UE receive beams 410 can be associated with transmission configuration indication (TCI) states. A TCI state can indicate a directionality or characteristics of a downlink beam, such as one or more QCL properties of the downlink beam. QCL properties can include, for example, Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, or spatial receive parameter, among other examples. In some examples, each BS transmit beam 405 can be associated with a synchronization signal block (SSB), and a UE 120 can indicate a preferred BS transmit beam 405 by transmitting an uplink transmission in resources of a SSB associated with the preferred BS transmit beam 405. A particular SSB can have an associated TCI state (e.g., for antenna ports or for beamforming). In some examples, a base station 110 can indicate a downlink BS transmit beam 405 based at least in part on antenna port QCL properties that can be indicated by a TCI state. For different QCL types (e.g., different combinations of QCL types for Doppler shift, Doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, or spatial receive parameter, among other examples), a TCI state can be associated with one set of downlink reference signals (e.g., SSBs and aperiodic, periodic, or semi-persistent channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS)). In cases where a QCL type indicates a spatial receive parameter, the QCL type can correspond to an analog receive beamforming parameter of a UE receive beam 410 at a UE 120. Thus, a UE 120 can select a corresponding UE receive beam 410 from a set of BPLs based at least in part on a BS transmit beam 405 indicated by a base station 110 via TCI indication.

[0163] The base station 110 can maintain a set of activated TCI states for downlink shared channel transmissions and a set of activated TCI states for downlink control channel transmissions. The set of activated TCI states for downlink shared channel transmissions can correspond to beams that the base station 110 uses for downlink transmissions on a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH). The set of activated TCI states for downlink control channel communications can correspond to beams that the base station 110 can use for downlink transmissions on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) or in a CORESET. The UE 120 can also maintain a set of activated TCI states for receiving downlink shared channel transmissions and CORESET transmissions. If a TCI state is activated for the UE 120, the UE 120 can have one or more antenna configurations based at least in part on the TCI state, and the UE 120 can not need to reconfigure antenna or antenna weighting configurations. In some examples, the set of activated TCI states (e.g., activated PDSCH TCI states and activated CORESET TCI states) for the UE 120 can be configured by a configuration message such as a radio resource control (RRC) message.

[0164] Similarly, for uplink communications, the UE 120 can transmit in the direction of the base station 110 using directional UE transmit beams, and the base station 110 can receive the transmissions using directional BS receive beams. Each UE transmit beam can have an associated beam ID, beam direction, or beam symbol, among other examples. The UE 120 can transmit uplink communications via one or more UE transmit beams 415.

[0165] The base station 110 can receive the uplink transmission via one or more BS receive beams 420. The base station 110 can identify a particular UE transmit beam 415 (shown as UE transmit beam 415-A) and a particular BS receive beam 420 (shown as BS receive beam 420-A) that provide a relatively favorable performance (e.g., that have a best channel quality of different measurement combinations of UE transmit beams 415 and BS receive beams 420). In some examples, the base station 110 can transmit an indication of which UE transmit beam 415 is identified by the base station 110 as a preferred UE transmit beam for the base station 110 to select for transmissions from the UE 120. The UE 120 and the base station 110 can thus obtain and maintain a BPL for uplink communications (e.g., the combination of UE transmit beam 415-A and BS receive beam 420-A), which can be further refined and maintained according to one or more established beam refinement procedures. An uplink beam, such as a UE transmit beam 415 or a BS receive beam 420, can be associated with a spatial relation. The spatial relation can indicate a directionality or characteristic of the uplink beam, similar to one or more QCL properties as described above.

[0166] As indicated above, providing Figure 4 as examples. Other examples can differ Figure 4 from the described examples.

[0167] A base station can transmit a PDCCH to a UE. For example, the base station can transmit a PDCCH of a PDCCH candidate. The PDCCH candidate can be included in a search space, which can be included in or associated with a search space set. The UE can attempt to decode the PDCCH (referred to herein as monitoring the PDCCH) in one or more monitoring occasions of the search space set. The one or more monitoring occasions can correspond to one or more PDCCH candidates of the search space set.

[0168] A base station can configure PDCCH repetition to improve reliability of PDCCH transmissions. Each repetition of a PDCCH repetition configuration can be in a PDCCH candidate. Two or more PDCCH candidates can be linked for potential repetition of the same DCI. For example, two PDCCH candidates in different search space sets (associated with corresponding CORESETs) can be linked together for PDCCH repetition (e.g., a search space set with index 2 can be linked with a search space set with index 4). If the two linked search space sets are associated with different CORESETs, different PDCCH repetitions can use different TCI states, assuming TCI states are configured and activated according to CORESETs, enabling beam diversity and multiple transmission-reception point (multi-TRP) diversity. Each search space set can have different monitoring occasions (MOs) within a slot and across slots. For PDCCH repetition, the MO of a first search space set can be linked with the MO of a second search space set. The mechanism for linking the MOs of the two SS sets can be rule-based or configuration-based (such as based at least in part on a parameter searchSpaceLinking). Depending on the search space set configuration (for the MOs), PDCCH repetition can employ time-division multiplexing (where PDCCH repetitions occupy different time resources), frequency-division multiplexing (where PDCCH repetitions occupy different frequency resources), or both.

[0169] A UE and a base station can communicate with each other using beamformed communications. For example, on the downlink, a base station can transmit communications using a transmit beam and a UE can receive the communications using a receive beam. On the uplink, a UE can transmit communications using a transmit beam and a base station can receive the communications using a receive beam. As described above, a beam for a communication can be indicated based at least in part on a TCI state, which can indicate a QCL relationship and a source reference signal from which QCL properties are to be derived. One example of a QCL property is a spatial QCL parameter (e.g., a spatial reception parameter or a spatial transmission parameter), which can be referred to as a QCL Type D or a QCL Type D parameter.

[0170] A UE can be capable of simultaneously receiving a given number of beams. As one example, a UE can be capable of using a single beam to receive communications at a given time. As another example, a UE can be capable of using two or more different beams to receive one or more communications at a given time. In some cases, a UE can be configured to receive simultaneous communications via more beams than the UE is capable of processing, such as multiple PDCCHs on the same frequency band for carrier aggregation (CA) operation, in a given serving cell, or multiple serving cells with different QCL properties. In such cases, the UE can apply a priority rule to select a CORESET corresponding to a PDCCH of the multiple PDCCHs. For example, the UE can select the CORESET and can monitor for PDCCHs only in the selected CORESET and any other CORESETs that have the same QCL TypeD properties as the selected CORESET. In one example, the priority rule can be a priority rule of search space type first (where common search spaces have higher priority than UE-specific search spaces), carrier index second (where the lowest component carrier or serving cell index has the highest priority), search space set index third (where the lowest search space set index has the highest priority).

[0171] In some cases, frequency division multiplexed PDCCH repetitions (or PDCCH repetitions that partially overlap in time) associated with linked SS sets can be transmitted in CORESETs with different TCI states (e.g., different QCL TypeD properties). In such cases, the baseline QCL prioritization rule (such as the priority rule indicating to monitor for PDCCHs only in the selected CORESET and any other CORESETs that have the same QCL TypeD properties as the selected CORESET) prevents the PDCCH repetitions from being monitored, which reduces the effectiveness of configuring the frequency division multiplexed PDCCH repetitions. Frequency division multiplexed PDCCH repetitions can provide lower latency than time division multiplexed PDCCH repetitions.

[0172] Furthermore, in the case of time division multiplexed PDCCH repetition when the UE is not capable of simultaneously receiving two beams, the baseline priority rule does not consider the PDCCH repetition in determining the QCL Type-D property for PDCCH monitoring. As a result, the effectiveness of time division multiplexed PDCCH repetition can be reduced because the UE can not select the QCL Type-D properties of the first PDCCH repetition and the second PDCCH repetition, which means the UE can only receive one of the first PDCCH repetition and the second PDCCH repetition (or not receive either of them). As a result, the effectiveness of PDCCH repetition can be reduced and the communication resources used by the base station to configure and perform PDCCH repetition can be consumed with little benefit.

[0173] Some of the techniques and apparatuses described herein provide for a UE capable of simultaneously supporting multiple TCI states to select two or more TCI states for multiple overlapping MOs. For example, if the UE is configured with PDCCH repetition such that the MO of a first linked search space set associated with a first CORESET having a first TCI state and the MO of a second linked search space set associated with a second CORESET having a second TCI state overlap, the UE can determine two QCL Type-D properties for PDCCH monitoring in overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions across multiple CORESETs (in the same component carrier (CC) or in different CCs of intra-band carrier aggregation) if the UE indicates a capability of simultaneously receiving or using multiple QCL Type-D properties. Various techniques described herein provide priority rules for selecting the QCL Type-D properties. As a result, using PDCCH repetition in a frequency division multiplexed manner, where two or more PDCCH repetitions are associated with different TCI states (and thus different QCL Type-D properties), is feasible for UEs that support simultaneous reception using two or more different TCI states. In this way, latency associated with PDCCH repetition can be reduced and resource usage efficiency can be improved.

[0174] Some techniques and apparatuses described herein enable a UE to determine QCL Type-D properties (e.g., TCI states) of overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions across multiple CORESETs (in the same CC or in different CCs of intra-band CA) based at least in part on linking a first PDCCH repetition in a MO that does not belong to the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions to a second PDCCH repetition in a MO that belongs to the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions. For example, the MO in which the second PDCCH repetition is configured for PDCCH repetition can cause the UE to prioritize a CORESET associated with the second PDCCH repetition when determining the QCL Type-D properties of the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions across multiple CORESETs. In some aspects, the above techniques can be implemented in a priority rule for CORESET selection, as described in greater detail elsewhere herein. In this way, the efficiency of PDCCH repetition is improved, which improves the robustness of PDCCH transmissions, thereby improving the communication resource utilization of the UE and the base station.

[0175] Figure 5 FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example 500 of signaling associated with receiving PDCCH using multiple TCI states, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, example 500 includes a UE 120 and a BS 110. In some aspects, BS 110 can be associated with multiple TRPs, multiple remote radio heads, and / or the like.

[0176] As Figure 5 indicated, and as shown by reference number 510, UE 120 can transmit capability information. The capability information can indicate one or more capabilities of UE 120. In example 500, the capability information can indicate a number of simultaneous spatial QCL properties supported by UE 120. For example, the capability information can indicate that UE 120 is capable of simultaneous communication using at least two spatial QCL properties. For example, the capability information can indicate a number of QCL Type-D properties that UE 120 can use for simultaneous reception of communications (e.g., PDCCH). “Spatial QCL properties,” “QCL Type-D properties,” “QCL properties,” and “QCL parameters” are used interchangeably herein.

[0177] As shown by reference number 520, the BS 110 can transmit configuration information to the UE 120. For example, the BS 110 can transmit the configuration information via RRC signaling, medium access control (MAC) signaling, DCI, or a combination thereof. The configuration information can configure the UE 120 for PDCCH repetition (e.g., can include a PDCCH repetition configuration). For example, the configuration information can indicate that a first MO is linked with a second MO for PDCCH repetition (such as based at least in part on a parameter searchSpaceLinking), which means that the first MO can include a first CORESET and the second MO can include a second CORESET, the first CORESET includes a first PDCCH repetition and the second CORESET includes a second PDCCH repetition. In some aspects, the configuration information can link two or more MOs for PDCCH repetition. Additionally or alternatively, the configuration information can link two or more search space sets associated with corresponding CORESETs. The PDCCH repetition can be in a time division multiplexed manner, a frequency division multiplexed manner, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, the first CORESET and the second CORESET can at least partially overlap in time. For example, a MO associated with a first linked search space associated with the first CORESET can at least partially overlap in time with a MO associated with a second linked search space associated with the second CORESET.

[0178] The configuration information can also indicate one or more TCI states for multiple CORESETs. For example, the configuration information can configure a CORESET and can indicate a TCI state for the CORESET (which can indicate a spatial QCL property (such as a QCL Type-D property) and a source reference signal). In some aspects, the first CORESET described above can have a first TCI state and the second CORESET described above can have a second TCI state that is different from the first TCI state. In some aspects, the one or more TCI states indicated for the multiple CORESETs can be based at least in part on the configuration information. For example, the BS 110 can configure the multiple CORESETs such that the capability of the UE 120 to communicate synchronously using at least two spatial QCL properties (e.g., at least two different TCI states) is not violated. As another example, the BS 110 can configure the PDCCH repetition such that the selection of spatial QCL properties for reception by the UE 120 is compatible with the PDCCH repetition (e.g., such that the UE 120 can receive the first PDCCH repetition and the second PDCCH repetition using the same spatial QCL properties or at most a number of spatial QCL properties supported by the UE 120).

[0179] As shown by reference number 530, the UE 120 can select a first set of CORESETs and a second set of CORESETs from the plurality of CORESETs configured by the configuration information. For example, in example 500, the UE 120 supports simultaneous reception using 2 TCI states. Thus, the UE 120 can select the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs. The first set of CORESETs can be associated with a first TCI state (e.g., a first spatial QCL parameter), and the second set of CORESETs can be associated with a second TCI state (e.g., a second spatial QCL parameter). In some aspects, at least a portion of the first set of CORESETs can overlap in time with at least a portion of the second set of CORESETs.

[0180] The UE 120 can select the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs based at least in part on a priority rule. For example, the priority rule can indicate how the UE 120 is to select a first selected CORESET and a second selected CORESET (which can be different from, or the same as, the first CORESET and the second CORESET described in connection with reference number 310) from the plurality of CORESETs. The UE 120 can determine a first spatial QCL property (e.g., a QCL Type-D property) associated with the first selected CORESET based at least in part on a TCI state associated with the first selected CORESET, and can identify the first set of CORESETs based at least in part on each CORESET in the first set of CORESETs being associated with the first spatial QCL property. Similarly, the UE 120 can determine a second spatial QCL property associated with the second selected CORESET based at least in part on a TCI state associated with the second selected CORESET, and can identify the second set of CORESETs based at least in part on each CORESET in the second set of CORESETs being associated with the second spatial QCL property.

[0181] The priority rule can indicate one or more rules for selecting a CORESET from a plurality of CORESETs configured for the UE 120 to receive using spatial QCL properties associated with the CORESET. In some aspects, a priority rule can be defined herein as a “X first, Y second” priority rule. X and Y can define conditions for selecting a CORESET. If the UE 120 uses the “X first, Y second” priority rule to select between a first CORESET and a second CORESET, the UE 120 can first determine whether condition X indicates to select the first CORESET or the second CORESET. If condition X cannot be used to distinguish between the first CORESET and the second CORESET, the UE 120 can next determine whether condition Y indicates to select the first CORESET or the second CORESET.

[0182] In some aspects, the UE 120 can select the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs regardless of the PDCCH repetition configuration indicated by the configuration information. For example, the priority rule can not take into account the PDCCH repetition configuration. In some aspects, the priority rule can be a search space type first, carrier index second, search space set index third priority rule. For example, the UE 120 can first select a CORESET included in a common search space over a CORESET included in a UE-specific search space. If all of the plurality of CORESETs are included in a UE-specific search space or all of the plurality of CORESETs are included in a common search space, the UE 120 can select a CORESET with a lowest CC index or a lowest serving cell index. If all of the plurality of CORESETs are associated with a same CC index or a same serving cell index, the UE 120 can select a CORESET with a lowest SS set index. In this way, the UE 120 can select a first selected CORESET. The UE 120 can then determine the first set of CORESETs as all CORESETs associated with a same spatial QCL property as the first selected CORESET. The UE 120 can then determine the second set of CORESETs by applying the priority rule to remaining CORESETs of the plurality of CORESETs other than the first set of CORESETs. It should be noted that the above-described method for selecting the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs can or can not result in a CORESET associated with PDCCH repetition being selected to be included in the first set of CORESETs or the second set of CORESETs. For example, whether to monitor one or more overlapping PDCCH repetitions can depend on spatial QCL parameters of the first set of CORESETs or the second set of CORESETs.

[0183] In some aspects, the UE 120 can select the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs based at least in part on the priority rule and the PDCCH repetition configuration. For example, the UE 120 can select the first set of CORESETs based at least in part on the priority rule of search space type first, carrier index second, search space set index third. The UE 120 can determine a first spatial QCL property associated with the first set of CORESETs. If there is a (temporally) overlapping PDCCH repetition, such that a first repetition of the PDCCH repetition is in the first set of CORESETs (e.g., if the first repetition is associated with a CORESET (the first selected CORESET or another CORESET with the same beam) that has this spatial QCL property), the UE 120 can determine a second spatial QCL parameter to be the spatial QCL parameter of the CORESET associated with the second repetition. If there are multiple pairs of first repetition / second repetition as described above (i.e., if there are multiple CORESETs in the first set of CORESETs, and each of the multiple CORESETs in the first set of CORESETs is linked with a respective second CORESET (e.g., for each second CORESET, one of the CORESETs in the first set of CORESETs is linked with that second CORESET)), the UE 120 can apply a priority rule for determining the second spatial QCL property (e.g., such as based at least in part on CSS / USS, based at least in part on search space set index of the first PDCCH repetition / second PDCCH repetition, based at least in part on CC index in which the PDCCH repetition is configured, based at least in part on CORESET identifier of the first PDCCH repetition / second PDCCH repetition, etc.). For example, the priority rule for selecting the first set of CORESETs can be referred to as a first priority rule, and the priority rule for determining the second spatial parameter (and thus for selecting the second set of CORESETs) can be referred to as a second priority rule. In some aspects, the second priority rule can be the priority rule of search space type first, carrier index second, search space set index third. In this way, the UE 120 can select the first set of CORESETs from multiple CORESETs based at least in part on the PDCCH repetition, based at least in part on the priority rule, where the first set of CORESETs includes a particular CORESET in which there is a PDCCH repetition that is linked with another PDCCH repetition in another CORESET that at least partially overlaps with the first set of CORESETs. The UE 120 can select the second set of CORESETs to include the other CORESET. Thus, the UE 120 can take into account the PDCCH repetition without having to select a pair of PDCCH repetitions with overlapping MOs to monitor.

[0184] In some aspects, the UE 120 can select the first set of CORESETs to include the first CORESET associated with the first PDCCH repetition and select the second set of CORESETs to include the second CORESET associated with the second PDCCH repetition. For example, the UE 120 can select the first set of CORESETs to include the first CORESET based at least in part on the first CORESET including the first PDCCH repetition and based at least in part on each CORESET in the first set of CORESETs having the same spatial QCL properties as the first CORESET. The UE 120 can select the second set of CORESETs to include the second CORESET based at least in part on the second CORESET including the second PDCCH repetition and / or based at least in part on each CORESET in the second set of CORESETs having the same spatial QCL properties as the second CORESET. If multiple pairs of PDCCH repetitions are configured, the UE 120 can apply a priority rule for selecting the first set of CORESETs and / or the second set of CORESETs and / or for determining the corresponding spatial QCL properties (e.g., such as based at least in part on CSS / USS, based at least in part on search space set index of the first PDCCH repetition / second PDCCH repetition, based at least in part on CC index in which the PDCCH repetition is configured, based at least in part on CORESET identifier of the first PDCCH repetition / second PDCCH repetition, etc.). Thus, the UE 120 can ensure monitoring at least one pair of PDCCH repetitions with overlapping MOs.

[0185] Figure 6 FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example 600 of determining a first set of CORESETs and a second set of CORESETs according to the present disclosure. The example 600 illustrates six CORESETs. The spatial QCL parameters of each CORESET are illustrated by different types of shading or fill. Further, CORESET 3 is associated with CORESET 4 based at least in part on CORESET 3 carrying the first PDCCH repetition and CORESET 4 carrying the second PDCCH repetition. Further, CORESET 5 is associated with CORESET 6 based at least in part on CORESET 5 carrying the first PDCCH repetition and CORESET 6 carrying the second PDCCH repetition.

[0186] CORESET 1 carries DCI in a common search space (CSS) set indexed as 2 in CC 0. CORESET 2 carries DCI in a CSS set indexed as 2 in CC 1. CORESET 3 carries DCI in a UE-specific search space (USS) set indexed as 1 in CC 0. CORESET 4 carries DCI in a USS set indexed as 3 in CC 0. CORESET 5 carries DCI in a USS set indexed as 2 in CC 1. CORESET 6 carries DCI in a USS set indexed as 3 in CC 1.

[0187] If the priority rule of search space type first, carrier index second, search space set index third is applied to select a single spatial QCL property (e.g., corresponding to a single CORESET), the order of the selection can be CORESET 1, CORESET 2, CORESET 3, CORESET 4, CORESET 5, and then CORESET 6.

[0188] If the priority rule of search space type first, carrier index second, search space set index third is applied to select a first CORESET set, and then the priority rule is applied to the remaining portion of the multiple CORESETs to select a second CORESET set, the UE 120 can select CORESET 1 as the first selected CORESET. The UE 120 can identify CORESET 1 and CORESET 5 as the first CORESET set based at least in part on the spatial QCL properties associated with CORESET 1 and CORESET 5. The UE 120 can select CORESET 2 as the second selected CORESET from the remaining CORESETs (e.g., CORESET 2, CORESET 3, CORESET 4, CORESET 6). The UE 120 can identify CORESET 2 and CORESET 3 as the second CORESET set based at least in part on the spatial QCL properties associated with CORESET 2 and CORESET 3. The UE 120 can monitor PDCCH on CORESET 1, CORESET 2, CORESET 3, and CORESET 5.

[0189] If the UE 120 selects the first CORESET set applying the priority rule of search space type first, carrier index second, search space set index third, the second CORESET set is selected based at least in part on PDCCH repetition, and then the UE 120 can select CORESET 1 as the first selected CORESET. The UE 120 can identify CORESET 1 and CORESET 5 as the first CORESET set based at least in part on spatial QCL properties associated with CORESET 1 and CORESET 5. The UE 120 can select CORESET 6 as the second selected CORESET based at least in part on CORESET 6 being associated with PDCCH repetition of CORESET 5. The UE 120 can monitor for PDCCH on CORESET 1, CORESET 5, and CORESET 6.

[0190] If the UE 120 selects the first CORESET set and the second CORESET set based at least in part on PDCCH repetition, the UE 120 can select CORESET 3 as the first selected CORESET. Since CORESET 3 and CORESET 5 are associated with PDCCH repetition, the UE 120 can resolve this ambiguity using a priority rule, such as the priority rule of search space type first, carrier index second, search space set index third. The UE 120 can identify CORESET 2 and CORESET 3 as the first CORESET set based at least in part on spatial QCL properties associated with CORESET 2 and CORESET 3. The UE 120 can select CORESET 4 as the second selected CORESET based at least in part on CORESET 3 being associated with PDCCH repetition of CORESET 4. The second CORESET set is based at least in part on CORESET 4 (relative to the six CORESETs of Figure 6 The UE 120 can monitor for PDCCH on CORESET 2, CORESET 3, and CORESET 4.

[0191] Returning to Figure 5As shown by reference number 540, the UE 120 can monitor for PDCCHs on the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs. For example, the UE 120 can generate receive beams using the first spatial QCL property and the second spatial QCL property, and can monitor for MOs corresponding to each CORESET in the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs. The BS 110 can transmit multiple PDCCHs according to respective spatial QCL properties of the multiple PDCCHs, potentially including one or more PDCCHs on the first set of CORESETs and / or the second set of CORESETs. In this way, the UE 120 can determine the set of CORESETs to monitor based at least in part on a capability of the UE 120 to synchronize communications on multiple beams. Thus, frequency division multiplexed PDCCH repetition is improved, which reduces latency associated with PDCCH repetition and improves generality of PDCCH scheduling.

[0192] As indicated above, the provision of Figure 5 and Figure 6 are examples. Other examples can differ from what is described with respect to the Figure 5 and Figure 6 described with reference to the examples.

[0193] Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating an example 700 of signaling associated with determining spatial QCL properties in overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions across multiple CORESETs, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown, the example 700 includes a UE 120 and a BS 110. In some aspects, the BS 110 can be associated with multiple TRPs, multiple remote radio heads, and / or the like.

[0194] As Figure 7As shown, and by reference number 710, the BS 110 can transmit configuration information to the UE 120. For example, the BS 110 can transmit the configuration information via RRC signaling, MAC signaling, DCI, or a combination thereof. The configuration information can configure the UE 120 for PDCCH repetition. For example, the configuration information can indicate that a first MO is linked with a second MO for PDCCH repetition, which means that the first MO can include a first CORESET and the second MO can include a second CORESET, the first CORESET includes a first PDCCH repetition and the second CORESET includes a second PDCCH repetition. In some aspects, the configuration information can link two or more MOs for PDCCH repetition. Additionally, or alternatively, the configuration information can link two or more search space sets associated with corresponding CORESETs. The PDCCH repetition can employ a time division multiplexing manner, a frequency division multiplexing manner, or a combination thereof. In some aspects, a CORESET of the first CORESET and the second CORESET can at least partially overlap, such as in time or in frequency, with one or more other CORESETs. For example, a MO associated with a first linked search space associated with the first CORESET can at least partially overlap with a MO of another CORESET. In some aspects, the first CORESET and the second CORESET can be in a same CC. In some aspects, the first CORESET and the second CORESET can be in different CCs, such as for intra-band CA.

[0195] As shown by reference number 720, the UE 120 can select a spatial QCL property of an overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasion across multiple CORESETs (or can select a CORESET associated with the spatial QCL property) based at least in part on the PDCCH repetition configuration. For example, the PDCCH repetition configuration can link a first PDCCH repetition in a MO that does not belong to an overlapping PDCCH MO and a second PDCCH repetition in a MO that belongs to the overlapping PDCCH MO. The UE 120 can select the spatial QCL property based at least in part on a priority rule that is based at least in part on a link between the first CORESET and the second CORESET (e.g., a link between the PDCCH repetitions of the first CORESET and the second CORESET, a link between the MOs of the first CORESET and the second CORESET, and / or the like). For example, the fact that the MO of the second repetition (included in the second CORESET) is configured for PDCCH repetition can cause the UE 120 to prioritize the CORESET in which the second PDCCH repetition exists when determining the spatial QCL property in the overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasion across multiple CORESETs that overlaps with the second PDCCH repetition.

[0196] In some aspects, the priority rule can prioritize PDCCH repetition linking over all other conditions for selecting the selected CORESET. For example, the priority rule can be a priority rule of PDCCH repetition linking first, search space type second, carrier index third, search space set index fourth. In this case, given multiple CORESETs with overlapping MOs, the UE 120 can select the CORESET associated with PDCCH repetition linking before selecting any other CORESET. If no CORESET is associated with PDCCH repetition linking, the UE 120 can fall back to the second, third, and / or fourth portions of the priority rule.

[0197] In some aspects, the priority rule can prioritize PDCCH repetition linking over all other conditions for selecting the selected CORESET. For example, the priority rule can be a priority rule of PDCCH repetition linking first, search space type second, carrier index third, search space set index fourth. In this case, given multiple CORESETs with overlapping MOs, the UE 120 can select the CORESET associated with PDCCH repetition linking before selecting any other CORESET. If no CORESET is associated with PDCCH repetition linking, the UE 120 can fall back to the second, third, and / or fourth portions of the priority rule.

[0198] Figure 8 is a diagram illustrating an example 800 associated with the reference Figure 7 The diagram described above in connection with FIG. 8. Figure 8 Five CORESETs are shown: a first repetition of a PDCCH repetition configuration, and four CORESETs associated with PDCCH candidates in overlapping PDCCH monitoring occasions in two cells (e.g., CC 0 and CC 1 in the same frequency band). The spatial QCL parameters for each CORESET are shown by different types of shading or fill. Further, CORESET 3 is associated with the CORESET carrying the first PDCCH repetition based at least in part on the PDCCH repetition configuration (e.g., based at least in part on the configuration information shown by reference number 710).

[0199] As shown, CORESET 1 carries DCI in a CSS set with index 2 in CC 0. CORESET 2 carries DCI in a CSS set with index 2 in CC 1. CORESET 3 carries DCI in a USS set with index 1 in CC 0. CORESET 4 carries DCI in a USS set with index 1 in CC 1.

[0200] If the priority rule of search space type first, carrier index second, search space set index third is applied to select a single spatial QCL property (e.g., corresponding to a single CORESET), the order of selection can be CORESET 1, CORESET 2, CORESET 3, and then CORESET 4. In this case, the UE 120 can not monitor the second repetition of the PDCCH repetition configuration in CORESET 3 because the PDCCH repetition configuration is not considered.

[0201] If the priority rule considers the PDCCH repetition configuration (e.g., prioritized over one or more other conditions or all other conditions), the UE 120 can select CORESET 3 as the selected CORESET (e.g., can determine the spatial QCL parameters corresponding to CORESET 3). Accordingly, the UE 120 can select CORESET 2 and CORESET 3 as the second set of CORESETs for PDCCH monitoring.

[0202] Returning to Figure 7 As shown by reference number 730, the UE 120 can monitor the PDCCH using the selected spatial QCL property corresponding to the selected CORESET. For example, the UE 120 can generate a receive beam using the selected spatial QCL property, and can monitor the PDCCH based at least in part on the receive beam. The BS 110 can transmit multiple PDCCHs according to respective spatial QCL properties of the multiple PDCCHs, potentially including a PDCCH on the selected CORESET. In this way, compatibility with PDCCH repetition configurations is improved and the likelihood of monitoring PDCCH repetitions is improved, which improves network resource usage efficiency and robustness of PDCCH communications.

[0203] As indicated above, techniques are provided Figure 7 and Figure 8 by way of example. Other examples can differ from what is described Figure 7 and Figure 8 without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure.

[0204] Figure 9is a diagram illustrating example process 900 performed, for example, by a UE, in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. Example process 900 is an example where a UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with QCL prioritization rules for control channel repetition.

[0205] As Figure 9 indicated at block 910, in some aspects, process 900 can include receiving configuration information indicating a first PDCCH repetition of a first CORESET with a first TCI state and a second PDCCH repetition of a second CORESET with a second TCI state, where a first monitoring occasion of a first linked search space set associated with the first CORESET at least partially overlaps in time with a second monitoring occasion of a second linked search space set associated with the second CORESET. For example, the UE (e.g., using reception component 1302, depicted in FIG. 13) can receive configuration information indicating a first PDCCH repetition of a first CORESET with a first TCI state and a second PDCCH repetition of a second CORESET with a second TCI state, where a first monitoring occasion of a first linked search space set associated with the first CORESET at least partially overlaps in time with a second monitoring occasion of a second linked search space set associated with the second CORESET, as described above. Figure 13

[0206] As Figure 9 further indicated at block 920, in some aspects, process 900 can include monitoring, based at least in part on the configuration information, PDCCH of the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs that at least partially overlap in time with one another, where the monitoring of PDCCH for the first set of CORESETs is based at least in part on a first spatial QCL property and the monitoring of PDCCH for the second set of CORESETs is based at least in part on a second spatial QCL property different from the first spatial QCL property. For example, the UE (e.g., using monitoring component 1308, depicted in FIG. 13) can monitor, based at least in part on the configuration information, PDCCH of the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs that at least partially overlap in time with one another, where the monitoring of PDCCH for the first set of CORESETs is based at least in part on a first spatial QCL property and the monitoring of PDCCH for the second set of CORESETs is based at least in part on a second spatial QCL property different from the first spatial QCL property, as described above. Figure 13

[0207] Process 900 can include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and / or in connection with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

[0208] ​​In a first aspect, the process 900 includes selecting a first set of CORESETs from the plurality of CORESETs based at least in part on a priority rule, and selecting a second set of CORESETs from the plurality of CORESETs excluding the first set of CORESETs based at least in part on the priority rule.

[0209] In a second aspect, alone or in combination with the first aspect, the priority rule is a priority rule of search space type first, carrier index second, search space set index third.

[0210] In a third aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first and second aspects, the process 900 includes determining a first spatial QCL property based at least in part on the first set of CORESETs, and determining a second spatial QCL property based at least in part on the second set of CORESETs.

[0211] In a fourth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through third aspects, selecting the first set of CORESETs further includes selecting a CORESET in the first set of CORESETs based at least in part on the priority rule, and identifying a remaining portion of the CORESET based at least in part on the remaining portion of the CORESET having a same spatial QCL property as the selected CORESET.

[0212] In a fifth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through fourth aspects, the process 900 includes selecting the first set of CORESETs from the plurality of CORESETs based at least in part on the priority rule based at least in part on PDCCH repetition, wherein the first set of CORESETs includes a particular CORESET in which there is a PDCCH repetition that is linked with another PDCCH repetition in another CORESET that at least partially overlaps with the first set of CORESETs, and selecting the second set of CORESETs to include the other CORESET.

[0213] In a sixth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through fifth aspects, the priority rule is a first priority rule, wherein the first set of CORESETs includes a plurality of CORESETs that are linked with other CORESETs, and wherein the selection of the second set of CORESETs is based at least in part on a second priority rule.

[0214] In a seventh aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through sixth aspects, the process 900 includes selecting the first set of CORESETs to include the first CORESET based at least in part on the first CORESET including the first PDCCH repetition and selecting the second set of CORESETs to include the second CORESET based at least in part on the second CORESET including the second PDCCH repetition.

[0215] In an eighth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through seventh aspects, selecting the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs is based at least in part on a priority rule related to the first CORESET including the first PDCCH repetition and the second CORESET including the second PDCCH repetition.

[0216] In a ninth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through eighth aspects, the UE is capable of simultaneous communications using at least two spatial QCL properties, and performing PDCCH monitoring for the first set of CORESETs and the second set of CORESETs is based at least in part on the UE being capable of simultaneous communications using at least two spatial QCL properties.

[0217] In a tenth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through ninth aspects, the process 900 includes transmitting information indicating that the UE is capable of simultaneous communications using at least two spatial QCL properties, wherein the configuration information is based at least in part on the information indicating that the UE is capable of simultaneous communications using at least two spatial QCL properties.

[0218] Although Figure 9 Example blocks of the process 900 are illustrated, but in some aspects, the process 900 can include more, fewer, or a different arrangement of blocks than those depicted in FIG. 10. Additionally or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of the process 900 can be performed in parallel. Figure 9

[0219] Figure 10 FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example process 1000 that is performed by, for example, a UE, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example process 1000 is an example where a UE (e.g., UE 120) performs operations associated with techniques for quasi-co-location prioritization rules.

[0220] As Figure 10 ​As shown, in some aspects, process 1000 can include receiving configuration information indicating a PDCCH repetition indicating a link between a first CORESET and a second CORESET, wherein the second CORESET is included in a plurality of CORESETs having at least two different spatial QCL properties associated with an overlapping monitoring occasion (block 1010). For example, the UE (e.g., using reception component 1302, depicted in FIG. 13) can receive configuration information indicating a PDCCH repetition indicating a link between a first CORESET and a second CORESET, wherein the second CORESET is included in a plurality of CORESETs having at least two different spatial QCL properties associated with an overlapping monitoring occasion, as described above. Figure 13 As further shown in process 1000, in some aspects, process 1000 can include monitoring the PDCCH using a selected spatial QCL property corresponding to a selected CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, wherein the selected CORESET is selected based at least in part on a priority rule based at least in part on the link between the first CORESET and the second CORESET (block 1020). For example, the UE (e.g., using monitoring component 1308, depicted in FIG. 13) can monitor the PDCCH using a selected spatial QCL property corresponding to a selected CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, wherein the selected CORESET is selected based at least in part on a priority rule based at least in part on the link between the first CORESET and the second CORESET, as described above.

[0221] As further shown in process 1000, in some aspects, process 1000 can include monitoring the PDCCH using a selected spatial QCL property corresponding to a selected CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, wherein the selected CORESET is selected based at least in part on a priority rule based at least in part on the link between the first CORESET and the second CORESET (block 1020). For example, the UE (e.g., using monitoring component 1308, depicted in FIG. 13) can monitor the PDCCH using a selected spatial QCL property corresponding to a selected CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, wherein the selected CORESET is selected based at least in part on a priority rule based at least in part on the link between the first CORESET and the second CORESET, as described above. Figure 10 As further shown in process 1000, in some aspects, process 1000 can include monitoring the PDCCH using a selected spatial QCL property corresponding to a selected CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, wherein the selected CORESET is selected based at least in part on a priority rule based at least in part on the link between the first CORESET and the second CORESET (block 1020). For example, the UE (e.g., using monitoring component 1308, depicted in FIG. 13) can monitor the PDCCH using a selected spatial QCL property corresponding to a selected CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, wherein the selected CORESET is selected based at least in part on a priority rule based at least in part on the link between the first CORESET and the second CORESET, as described above. Figure 13 As further shown in process 1000, in some aspects, process 1000 can include monitoring the PDCCH using a selected spatial QCL property corresponding to a selected CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, wherein the selected CORESET is selected based at least in part on a priority rule based at least in part on the link between the first CORESET and the second CORESET (block 1020). For example, the UE (e.g., using monitoring component 1308, depicted in FIG. 13) can monitor the PDCCH using a selected spatial QCL property corresponding to a selected CORESET of the plurality of CORESETs, wherein the selected CORESET is selected based at least in part on a priority rule based at least in part on the link between the first CORESET and the second CORESET, as described above.

[0222] Process 1000 can include additional aspects, such as any single aspect or any combination of aspects described below and / or in connection with one or more other processes described elsewhere herein.

[0223] In a first aspect, the priority rule prioritizes the PDCCH repetition link over one or more other parameters for selection of the selected CORESET.

[0224] In a second aspect, alone or in combination with the first aspect, the selected CORESET is the second CORESET.

[0225] In a third aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first and second aspects, the priority rule prioritizes the PDCCH repetition linking over one or more other parameters used for selection of the selected CORESET based at least in part on the monitoring occasion of the second CORESET and the linking between the first CORESET and the second CORESET being associated.

[0226] In a fourth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through third aspects, the priority rule prioritizes the PDCCH repetition linking over all other parameters used for selection of the selected CORESET.

[0227] In a fifth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through fourth aspects, the priority rule is a priority rule of PDCCH repetition linking first, search space type second, carrier index third, search space set index fourth.

[0228] In a sixth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through fifth aspects, the priority rule is a priority rule of search space type first, PDCCH repetition linking second, carrier index third, search space set index fourth.

[0229] In a seventh aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through sixth aspects, the first CORESET is in a monitoring occasion that does not overlap with an overlapping monitoring occasion.

[0230] In an eighth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through seventh aspects, at least two of the plurality of CORESETs are on different component carriers.

[0231] In a ninth aspect, alone or in combination with one or more of the first through eighth aspects, the plurality of CORESETs are on a single component carrier.

[0232] Although Figure 10 Example blocks of the process 1000 are shown, but in some aspects, the process 1000 can include more, fewer, or different blocks than those depicted in FIG. 10. Additionally, or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of the process 1000 can be performed in parallel. Figure 10 In some aspects, the process 1100 can include more, fewer, or different blocks than those depicted in FIG. 11. Additionally, or alternatively, two or more of the blocks of the process 1100 can be performed in parallel.

[0233] Figure 11 FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example process 1100 performed, for example, by a base station, in accordance with the present disclosure. Example process 1100 is an example where the base station (e.g., base station 110) performs operations associated with techniques for QCL prioritization.

[0234] As Figure 11As shown, in some aspects, process 1100 can include transmitting, to a UE, configuration information indicating a first PDCCH repetition of a first CORESET with a first TCI state and a second PDCCH repetition of a second CORESET with a second TCI state, where a first monitoring occasion of a first linked search space set associated with the first CORESET at least partially overlaps in time with a second monitoring occasion of a second linked search space set associated with the second CORESET (block 1110). For example, the base station (e.g., using transmission component 1404, depicted in FIG. 14) can transmit, to a UE, configuration information indicating a first PDCCH repetition of a first CORESET with a first TCI state and a second PDCCH repetition of a second CORESET with a second TCI state, where a first monitoring occasion of a first linked search space set associated with the first CORESET at least partially overlaps in time with a second monitoring occasion of a second linked search space set associated with the second CORESET, as described above.
