  • different multiplexing schemes can be used for DMRS, including OCC based schemes, FDM based schemes, etc.
  • CDM group can be counted separately in each DMRS port set or counted jointly in both DMRS port sets.

  • this scheme it is proposed for OCC based scheme or FDM based scheme with separate CDM group counting, and it is illustrated with two scenarios: a) single DCI based multiple TRP transmission, and b) multiple DCI based multiple TRP transmission.
  • TCI state determination scheme The details for TCI state determination scheme are as follows:
  • the first TCI state corresponds to the CDM group and DMRS port set of the first antenna port indicated by the antenna port indication table;
  • the second TCI state corresponds to the other CDM group if DMRS ports are from two CDM groups and one DMRS port set;

  • TCI state 0 is used for DMRS port 0 and TCI state 1 is used DMRS port 8 based on the proposed scheme for DMRS ports from two DMRS port sets and one CDM group.
  • TCI state 0 is used for DMRS port 2 and TCI state 1 is used DMRS port 8 based on the proposed scheme for DMRS ports from two CDM groups and two DMRS port set.
  • the restriction may be relaxed as follows to support DMRS ports from different DMRS port sets to be indicated with different TCI states:
  • a UE is configured by the higher layer parameter PDCCH-Config that contains two different values of coresetPoolIndex in ControlResourceSet, the UE is not expected to assume DMRS ports in a CDM group from a DMRS port set indicated by two TCI states.
  • the DMRS ports from different DMRS port sets may be indicated by two TCI states. It may eliminate the scheduling restriction for DMRS ports from different DMRS port sets used for DMRS ports from different TRPs.
  • This TCI state determination scheme is based on Case 1, where DMRS ports may be from both DMRS port sets 0 and 1. For this scheme, it is proposed for FDM based scheme with joint CDM group counting.
  • the legacy TCI state determination schemes may be reused based on global CDM group index.
  • the first TCI state corresponds to the CDM group and DMRS port set of the first antenna port indicated by the antenna port indication table
  • the second TCI state corresponds to the other CDM group.
  • UE is not expected to assume DMRS ports in a CDM group indicated by two TCI states.
  • the TCI states for the indicated DMRS ports are determined based on the CDM groups with global indices.
  • the global CDM group index may be defined for all the CDM groups from two DMRS port sets. And, the DMRS port set information is implicitly indicated by the global CDM group index.
  • CDM groups are counted by counting firstly CDM groups in one DMRS port set and then CDM groups in another DMRS port set. That is, the global indices of the CDM groups are determined by counting firstly CDM groups in one DMRS port set of the first and second DMRS port sets and then CDM groups in the other DMRS port set.
  • mapping schemes between DMRS port and CDM group are defined as shown in Table 2 for Type 1 DMRS, where two CDM groups (CDM groups 2 and 3) from DMRS port set 1 are counted after two CDM groups (CDM groups 0 and 1) from DMRS port set 0.
  • This scheme has good compatibility since CDM group index is not changed for DMRS ports 0-7 relative to the legacy scheme.
  • the global indices of the CDM groups may be determined by counting firstly one CDM group in each DMRS port set and then another CDM group in each DMRS port set.
  • the mapping schemes between DMRS port and CDM group are defined as shown in Table 3 for Type 1 DMRS, where one CDM group (CDM group 1) from DMRS port set 1 is counted after one CDM group (CDM group 0) from DMRS port set 0; then followed by a second CDM group (CDM group 2) from DMRS port set 0, and a second CDM group (CDM group 3) from DMRS port set 1.
  • CDM groups are counted based on the order of the first RE index of each CDM group.
  • mapping schemes between DMRS port and CDM group are defined as shown in Table 4 for Type 1 DMRS, where CDM groups 1 and 3 from DMRS port set 1 are counted after CDM groups 0 and 2 from DMRS port set 0, respectively, based on the order of the first RE index of each CDM group.
  • This scheme is a natural counting scheme but may have compatibility issues since the CDM group index is changed for DMRS ports 2, 3, 6, and 7 compared with the legacy scheme.
  • This TCI state determination scheme is based on Case 2, where DMRS ports are from only DMRS port set 0 or 1. Scheduling restriction is made for DMRS ports from different DMRS port sets.
  • UE is not expected to be indicated with two TCI states in a codepoint of the DCI field 'Transmission Configuration Indication' when DMRS ports indicated by DCI field “antenna port (s) ” are from different DMRS port sets.
  • UE is not expected to be indicated with different TCI states when DMRS ports indicated by DCI field “antenna port (s) ” are from different DMRS port sets.
  • DMRS ports indicated by DCI field “antenna port (s) ” are from one single DMRS port set in the case of indicating two different TCI states.
  • the legacy TCI state determination schemes may be reused, with loss of some flexibility.
  • the TCI states for the indicated DMRS ports are determined based on CDM group.
