Abstract
Systems and methods for Phase Tracking Reference Signal (PTRS) to Demodulation Reference Signal (DMRS) association when two or more Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) states are indicated for a Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) transmission in a cellular communications system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method performed by a WCD comprises receiving a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) comprising Downlink Control Information (DCI) that indicates two Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) states for a PDSCH transmission to the WCD and DMRS ports within a single Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) group. The method further comprises determining a PTRS port to DMRS port association for the PDSCH transmission, wherein a single PTRS port is used for the PDSCH transmission and determining the PTRS port to DMRS port association comprises determining that the single PTRS port is associated with a lowest indexed DMRS port in the DMRS ports indicated in the DCI.
