Abstract
Embodiments include methods, performed by a user equipment (UE), for communicating via a plurality of nodes in a wireless network. Such methods include receiving a plurality of Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states, and receiving, via a single physical control channel, scheduling information for a plurality of physical data channels carrying a respective plurality of repetitions of a data block. The physical data channels can be respective layers of a PDSCH, or each physical data channel can be a subset of all layers of a PDSCH. Such methods include assigning one or more of the TCI states to the plurality of repetitions, and receiving the plurality of repetitions via the plurality of physical data channels based on the scheduling information and the assigned TCI states. Embodiments also include complementary methods performed by a wireless network, as well as UEs and wireless networks configured to perform such methods.
