Claim 14:
15. A method of communication, comprising:
configuring, by a network entity, a Reference Signal (RS) resource set that associates first resources with second resources, wherein the first resources are scheduled for communication, by or to the network entity, of at least one Access Link (AL) RS, and wherein the second resources are scheduled for transmission, by a relay node, of at least one Sidelink (SL) RS;
transmitting, by the network entity and to a user equipment (UE) and the relay node, the at least one AL RS over the first 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 network entity, at least one of a downlink channel or an uplink channel using the one or more QCL parameters for the AL.
