Abstract

A user equipment (UE) and a base station may utilize downlink control information (DCI) based beam indication to switch beams for wireless communications. The base station may transmit and the UE may receive on a control beam for a control resource set (CORESET), a downlink control information (DCI) that includes a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) and schedules a transmission between the UE and the base station. The UE and the base station may communicate the scheduled transmission. The UE and the base station may determine an acknowledgment of the DCI based on the scheduled transmission. The UE and the base station may switch the control beam for the CORESET based on the TCI after a time offset from the acknowledgment.
