Claim 0:
1. A user equipment (UE) comprising:
a transceiver configured to:
receive, via higher layers, configuration information on a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states; and
receive, based on the configuration information, a TCI state indication, wherein the TCI state indication indicates M beams, where M>1 and each of the M beams is associated with an interval of downlink (DL) time slots; and

a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to:
decode the TCI state indication and identify the M beams; and
apply one of the M beams for a reception of a DL signal in a DL time slot, wherein the DL time slot belongs to the interval of DL time slots associated with the one of the M beams.
