Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 20:
21. A base station, comprising:
a memory storing instructions; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to:
determine one or more capabilities of a user equipment (UE);
determine multiple uplink transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states for the UE to use based on the one or more capabilities;
transmit, to the UE, a single signal of the multiple uplink TCI states, wherein the single signal indicating multiple uplink TCI states is indicated via a mapping of the multiple uplink TCI states to a single uplink TCI codepoint which applies only to uplink transmissions, wherein the multiple uplink TCI states are based on more than one of a space division multiplexing (SDM) scheme, a frequency division multiplexing (FDM) scheme, or a time division multiplexing (TDM) scheme; and
receive, from the UE, an uplink transmission
in response to the single signal, wherein the uplink transmission is based on the multiple uplink TCI states and the received uplink transmission is according to a selected transmission scheme and is one of SDM scheme, FDM scheme or TDM scheme.
