Claim 2:
3. A method performed by a network device, comprising:
transmitting a higher layer configuration indicating one repetition scheme among a first frequency division multiplexing (FDM) scheme, a second FDM scheme and a time division multiplexing (TDM) scheme; and
in response to indicating to a terminal device, two transmission configuration indication (TCI) states and at least one DMRS port within one DMRS group:
transmitting a downlink transmission of a Transport Block (TB) in a case where the TCI states are indicated and the first FDM scheme is indicated, wherein each of the two TCI states is associated with a non-overlapping frequency domain resource allocation;
transmitting two downlink transmissions of a same TB in a case where the TCI states are indicated and the second FDM scheme is indicated, wherein each of the two TCI states is associated with a downlink transmission from the two downlink transmissions, and the downlink transmission is associated with a non-overlapping frequency domain resource allocation with respect to the other downlink transmission; or
transmitting two downlink transmissions of a same TB within a single slot in a case where the two TCI states are indicated and the TDM scheme is indicated, wherein each of the two TCI states is associated with a downlink transmission from the two downlink transmissions, and the downlink transmission is associated with a non-overlapping time domain resource allocation with respect to the other downlink transmission.
