Abstract

Techniques are provided for selecting a spatial relation for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission by a user equipment (UE) operating in a multi-transmission reception point (TRP) multi-antenna panel environment. For example, the UE prepares a PUSCH transmission intended for a first TRP of a plurality of TRPs available to the UE in the wireless network, and determines a first antenna port group of a plurality of antenna port groups of the UE that is more directionally aligned with the first TRP than other antenna port groups of the plurality of antenna port groups. The UE further transmits the PUSCH transmission to the first TRP via the first antenna port group using a default spatial relation used for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) communication with the first TRP via the first antenna port group.
