Claim 21:
22. An apparatus for communication, comprising:
one or more memories configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled with the one or more memories, wherein the one or more processors are configured to execute the instructions to:
configure a Reference Signal (RS) resource set that associates first resources with second resources, wherein the first resources are scheduled for communication, by or to a network entity, of at least one Access Link (AL) RS, and wherein the second resources are scheduled for transmission, by the apparatus, of at least one Sidelink (SL) RS;
transmit, by a relay node or network entity, and to a user equipment (UE), the at least one SL RS over the second resources to trigger a network to configure one or more Quasi-co-location (QCL) parameters for an AL and a relay SL with the UE, wherein the one or more QCL parameters correspond to a joint spatial relation between the network entity and the apparatus; and
communicate at least one of a downlink channel or an uplink channel using the one or more QCL parameters for the relay SL.
