Abstract
An apparatus () comprising: at least one processor (); and at least one memory () including computer program instructions (); the at least one memory () and the computer program instructions () configured to, with the at least one processor (), cause the apparatus () at least to perform: receiving () configuration information for enabling the apparatus () to measure a first set of Downlink (DL) Reference Signals (RSs) () and/or a second set of DLRSs (), wherein DLRSs (-) of the first set of DLRSs () are respectively associated with a first set of DL beams (), wherein one or more DLRSs (-) of the first set of DLRSs () are configured to be Quasi-Co-Located (QCLed) with at least one DLRS (#m) of the second set of DLRSs (), and wherein DLRSs (#a-#z) of the second set of DLRSs () are respectively associated with a second set of DL beams (); receiving () information for enabling the apparatus () to determine a Quasi-Co-Location (QCL) assumption for a Channel Occupancy Time (COT), wherein the QCL assumption for the COT is indicative of the availability, for use for transmissions within the COT, of: at least one DL beam (#m) associated with the at least one DLRS (#m) of the second set of DLRSs (), and one or more DL beams (-) associated with the one or more DLRSs (-) of the first set of DLRSs () and QCLed with the at least one DLRS (#m) of the second set of DLRS (); and determining (), based at least in part on the received information and configuration information, the QCL assumption for the COT.
