Abstract

L'invention concerne également des procédés et des systèmes pour déterminer un moment auquel un état d'indicateur de configuration de transmission (TCI) sera appliqué. Dans certains modes de réalisation, le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à : (i) envoyer des premières informations indiquant une première quantité de temps nécessaire pour appliquer un état TCI ; (ii) recevoir des informations de commande de liaison descendante (DCI) et des secondes informations indiquant une seconde quantité de temps associée à l'application de l'état TCI ; (iii) transmettre un premier accusé de réception à la station de base ; et (iv) appliquer l'état TCI à un moment déterminé, le moment déterminé étant au moins la seconde quantité de temps après la transmission du premier accusé de réception.
