Claim 8:
9. A method of communication, comprising:
configuring, by a user equipment (UE), 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 a relay node, of at least one Sidelink (SL) RS;
transmitting, by the UE, channel state information (CSI) feedback, based on the at least one AL RS received from the network entity over the first resources and the at least one SL RS received over the second resources from the relay node, to trigger a network to configure one or more Quasi-co-location (QCL) parameters for an AL and a relay SL, wherein the one or more QCL parameters correspond to a joint spatial relation between the network entity and the relay node; and
communicating, with at least one of the relay node or the network entity, a downlink channel or an uplink channel using the one or more QCL parameters for the AL or the relay SL.
