    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to configured to use multiple beams for transmission or reception. The UE receives, from a base station, at least one medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) that indicates multiple activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, receives, from the base station, at least one downlink control information (DCI) indicating a subset of TCI states of the multiple activated TCI states, wherein the MAC CE and the DCI are part of a TCI configuration, and wherein the subset of TCI states corresponds to multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) of a wireless network, maps the subset of TCI states to the corresponding multiple TRPs based on the TCI configuration and selects a beam used for transmission or reception based on one mapped TCI state of the mapped subset of TCI states.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for beam failure recovery (BFR) are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) receives downlink (DL) reference signal(s) on corresponding beam(s) from a base station. The UE performs beam failure detection (BFD) on such beams used for user data to determine whether a beam failure has occurred, and candidate beam detection (CBD) on such beams not used for user data to identify candidate beams for recovering from the beam failure. The BFD and the CBD are based on both uplink (UL) channel performance considerations and DL channel performance considerations, as determined using the DL reference signal(s), such that a beam failure may be determined in the UL, the DL, or both, and a candidate beam may be identified for UL, DL, or both. The UE sends a beam failure recovery request BFRQ with this information to the base station, and the system changes beams accordingly.
