Abstract
The disclosure provides method for configuring transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for user equipment (UE) and UE. In the embodiments of the disclosure, the details about how to exactly use the TCI-based structure for indicating a common beam for various purposes (e.g., both DL/UL, UL (only) or DL (only)) have been introduced. In addition, the embodiments of the disclosure have proposed the exact behavior of switching different TCI state for different purpose as well. Accordingly, efficient beam indication for both DL/UL transmission, UL only transmission, and DL only transmission can be facilitated, and the procedure(s) related to seamlessly switching among different beam indication signaling are also specified.
