Abstract

Technology for a user equipment (UE) operable for beam management is disclosed. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI), wherein the TCI is configured for a control channel and a data channel for all bandwidth parts (BWPs) of the UE or all component carriers (CCs) of the UE. The UE can be configured to decode, at the UE, a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for beam management with a repetition parameter set to “ON” transmitted in one BWP or one CC in a first set of symbols. The UE can be configured to identify, at the UE, a scheduling restriction for the first set of symbols for the control channel and the data channel, wherein the scheduling restriction indicates that downlink transmission in the first set of symbols is not expected.
