Abstract
Disclosed herein are apparatus and methods to operate a communication device (UE) in a common beam mode. According to an aspect, the UE may assume that beam characteristics for a single common beam can be reused by multiple channels and reference signals without the need for repeated signaling indicating the Tx beam in subsequent transmissions, such that network bandwidth consumption can be reduced and latency can be improved. In some embodiments, the common beam may be indicated with a TCI-state through a L1 signaling such as DCI signaling. In some embodiments, the common beam may be indicated with a TCI-state through a MAC CE message.
