Claim 0:
1. A method of communication, comprising:
configuring, by a relay node, 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 relay node, of at least one Sidelink (SL) RS;
transmitting, by the relay node 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 relay node; and
communicating, by the relay node, at least one of a downlink channel or an uplink channel using the one or more QCL parameters for the relay SL.
