    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for beam indication set reuse. A method for a wireless communication that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving signaling configuring the UE with a beam indication set. The method includes receiving an indication to apply the configured beam indication set to multiple bandwidth parts (BWPs) and/or multiple component carriers (CCs). The method includes applying the beam indication set to a BWP or CC based on the indication. The beam indication set may be for uplink or downlink communications. The beam indication set may be a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state set or spatial relation set. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may detect a beam failure associated with a component carrier (CC) of a plurality of CCs that are aggregated. The UE may identify, based at least in part on detecting the beam failure, a CC group in which the CC and one or more other CCs, of the plurality of CCs, are included. The UE may transmit, to the BS, a beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) communication associated with the CC group. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: Various aspects and features described herein relate to methods for beam failure recovery in a SCell with assistance from a PCell. In an aspect, an apparatus (e.g., a UE) may detect an SCell beam failure, and send a scheduling request in response to detection of the SCell beam failure to a base station via a PCell. The UE may receive a first message including one of an uplink grant or a trigger for an UL report from the base station via the PCell. The UE may send a second message via the PCell indicating the SCell beam failure and a preferred candidate beam associated with the SCell. The UE may receive CORESET TCI state activation from the base station via the PCell, and determine, based on the CORESET TCI state activation signal, a control channel associated with the preferred candidate beam.

    Abstract: A range extension method and apparatus for highly directional beams are disclosed. In one aspect, a first network node that is suitable for supporting mmWave transmissions to a wireless device such as a UE may extend the range of at least one transmit beam to a UE by selecting a suitable repetition configuration that transmits repetition versions of an original signal. The first network node sends information about the repetition configuration to a second network node which can transmit a portion of the repetition configuration information to the UE using sub-6 GHz transmissions. The UE can configure a receive beam to receive mmWave communications from the first network node by using the portion of the repetition configuration information received from the second network node.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for signaling of UE intra/inter-panel beam switch latency using communications systems operating according to new radio (NR) technologies. For example, the method generally includes determining at least a first latency associated with a beam switch across at least first and second antenna array modules, wherein the first latency is greater than or equal to a second latency associated with a beam switch within the first or second antenna module, and signaling a second device an indication of when to assume the first latency for a beam switch at the first device.
