Abstract
An apparatus includes a processor; and a non-transitory memory including computer program code; wherein the memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus at least to: report at least two reported beams to a radio node; receive a configuration from the radio node for at least two configured beams, the at least two configured beams comprising a primary beam and at least one secondary beam; attempt to decode data based on the primary beam, per monitoring occasion for a downlink channel, based on the received configuration; in response to a failure to decode the data based on the primary beam, attempt to decode the data based on the at least one secondary beam over the downlink channel; and transmit or receive information over a scheduling occasion using at least one of the at least two configured beams following a successful decoding attempt.
