Abstract
In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) receives scheduling information that schedules a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). The UE determines whether to autonomously update a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state in response to the scheduled CSI-RS based, for example, on CSI-RS power metrics or payload size of a CSI report. Then, depending upon the determination, the UE either autonomously updates the TCI state or updates the TCI state only in response to TCI state update instructions received from the base station. In other aspects, a UE receives scheduling information from a multiple transmission and reception point (mTRP) base station that schedules a CSI-RS. The UE autonomously updates TCI states for use with the mTRP base station. Complementary operations may be performed by the base station. These and other aspects described herein may reduce latency and improve performance between a UE and a base station.
