Claim 11:
12. A method, comprising:
transmitting, by a network entity, at least one configuration to a user equipment with at least a first transmission configuration index (TCI), a second TCI, and at least two non-overlapping frequency resource regions in a single time domain resource, wherein
the first TCI is associated with at least one of the non-overlapped frequency resource region,
the second TCI is associated with at least one of the non-overlapped frequency resource region which is not assigned to the first TCI, and
at least one association of a state of the first TCI, a state of the second TCI, and the at least one non-overlapping resource region is changed in a next time domain repetition instance,
wherein at least one transmit receive point (TRP) is associated with at least one non-overlapping frequency resource with one TCI state for multi-TRP transmissions in a time instance, and the same or some other set of non-overlapping frequency resources in a different time instance wherein the same transport block (TB) repeats with the same TCI state,
wherein the association between each non-overlapped frequency resource and corresponding TCI state of a transport block repetition in a time instance is received by the user equipment as a configuration by a preconfigured pattern,
wherein partitioning of at least one entire frequency resource allocation is configured by higher layer signaling,
wherein each downlink control information (DCI) is configured to carry at least one bit map to derive the TCI association with resource portions and related information configured to derive a number of portions, and, wherein in a case where the DCI indicated frequency allocation is 60 physical resource block (PRB), and two TRPs use two non-adjacent frequency allocations, wherein 15 PRB is a portioning size of a non-overlapped frequency allocation, and each TRP uses two portions.
