     1. Mobile Communication Technology and Environment 
       FIG.  1    illustrates an example wireless communication network, and/or system,  100  in which techniques disclosed herein may be implemented, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the following discussion, the wireless communication network  100  may be any wireless network, such as a cellular network or a narrowband Internet of things (NB-IoT) network, and is herein referred to as “network  100 .” Such an example network  100  includes a base station  102  (hereinafter “BS  102 ”; also referred to as wireless communication node) and a user equipment device  104  (hereinafter “UE  104 ”; also referred to as wireless communication device) that can communicate with each other via a communication link  110  (e.g., a wireless communication channel), and a cluster of cells  126 ,  130 ,  132 ,  134 ,  136 ,  138  and  140  overlaying a geographical area  101 . In  FIG.  1   , the BS  102  and UE  104  are contained within a respective geographic boundary of cell  126 .

Each radio frame  118 / 124  may be further divided into sub-frames  120 / 127  which may include data symbols  122 / 128 . In the present disclosure, the BS  102  and UE  104  are described herein as non-limiting examples of “communication nodes,” generally, which can practice the methods disclosed herein. Such communication nodes may be capable of wireless and/or wired communications, in accordance with various embodiments of the present solution. 
       FIG.  2    illustrates a block diagram of an example wireless communication system  200  for transmitting and receiving wireless communication signals (e.g., OFDM/OFDMA signals) in accordance with some embodiments of the present solution. The system  200  may include components and elements configured to support known or conventional operating features that need not be described in detail herein. In one illustrative embodiment, system  200  can be used to communicate (e.g., transmit and receive) data symbols in a wireless communication environment such as the wireless communication environment  100  of  FIG.  1   , as described above. 
     System  200  generally includes a base station  202  (hereinafter “BS  202 ”) and a user equipment device  204  (hereinafter “UE  204 ”).

The BS  202  communicates with the UE  204  via a communication channel  250 , which can be any wireless channel or other medium suitable for transmission of data as described herein. 
     As would be understood by persons of ordinary skill in the art, system  200  may further include any number of modules other than the modules shown in  FIG.  2   .

Similarly, in accordance with some embodiments, the BS transceiver  210  may be referred to herein as a “downlink” transceiver  210  that includes a RF transmitter and a RF receiver each comprising circuitry that is coupled to the antenna  212 . A downlink duplex switch may alternatively couple the downlink transmitter or receiver to the downlink antenna  212  in time duplex fashion. The operations of the two transceiver modules  210  and  230  may be coordinated in time such that the uplink receiver circuitry is coupled to the uplink antenna  232  for reception of transmissions over the wireless transmission link  250  at the same time that the downlink transmitter is coupled to the downlink antenna  212 . Conversely, the operations of the two transceivers  210  and  230  may be coordinated in time such that the downlink receiver is coupled to the downlink antenna  212  for reception of transmissions over the wireless transmission link  250  at the same time that the uplink transmitter is coupled to the uplink antenna  232 . In some embodiments, there is close time synchronization with a minimal guard time between changes in duplex direction. 
     The UE transceiver  230  and the base station transceiver  210  are configured to communicate via the wireless data communication link  250 , and cooperate with a suitably configured RF antenna arrangement  212 / 232  that can support a particular wireless communication protocol and modulation scheme. In some illustrative embodiments, the UE transceiver  210  and the base station transceiver  210  are configured to support industry standards such as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) and emerging 5G standards, and the like. It is understood, however, that the present disclosure is not necessarily limited in application to a particular standard and associated protocols. Rather, the UE transceiver  230  and the base station transceiver  210  may be configured to support alternate, or additional, wireless data communication protocols, including future standards or variations thereof. 
     In accordance with various embodiments, the BS  202  may be an evolved node B (eNB), a serving eNB, a target eNB, a femto station, or a pico station, for example. In some embodiments, the UE  204  may be embodied in various types of user devices such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet, laptop computer, wearable computing device, etc. The processor modules  214  and  236  may be implemented, or realized, with a general purpose processor, a content addressable memory, a digital signal processor, an application specific integrated circuit, a field programmable gate array, any suitable programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components, or any combination thereof, designed to perform the functions described herein. In this manner, a processor may be realized as a microprocessor, a controller, a microcontroller, a state machine, or the like. A processor may also be implemented as a combination of computing devices, e.g., a combination of a digital signal processor and a microprocessor, a plurality of microprocessors, one or more microprocessors in conjunction with a digital signal processor core, or any other such configuration. 
     Furthermore, the steps of a method or algorithm described in connection with the embodiments disclosed herein may be embodied directly in hardware, in firmware, in a software module executed by processor modules  214  and  236 , respectively, or in any practical combination thereof. The memory modules  216  and  234  may be realized as RAM memory, flash memory, ROM memory, EPROM memory, EEPROM memory, registers, a hard disk, a removable disk, a CD-ROM, or any other form of storage medium known in the art. In this regard, memory modules  216  and  234  may be coupled to the processor modules  210  and  230 , respectively, such that the processors modules  210  and  230  can read information from, and write information to, memory modules  216  and  234 , respectively. The memory modules  216  and  234  may also be integrated into their respective processor modules  210  and  230 . In some embodiments, the memory modules  216  and  234  may each include a cache memory for storing temporary variables or other intermediate information during execution of instructions to be executed by processor modules  210  and  230 , respectively.

For example, network communication module  218  may be configured to support internet or WiMAX traffic. In a typical deployment, without limitation, network communication module  218  provides an 802.3 Ethernet interface such that base station transceiver  210  can communicate with a conventional Ethernet based computer network. In this manner, the network communication module  218  may include a physical interface for connection to the computer network (e.g., Mobile Switching Center (MSC)).

     2. Systems and Methods for Identifying Radio Communication Services 
     In a wireless communication system, a receiving device (e.g., a wireless communication node or wireless communication device, such as a UE, a base station, or a served node) may identify, discover, recognize, and/or determine a radio communication service by utilizing an identity of a domain (e.g., a cell ID, a service area ID, a PLMN ID and/or other identifiers). However, certain identifiers (e.g., a cell ID, a PCI, a CI, and/or other identifiers) and/or domain definitions (e.g., a cell, a service area, a PLMN, and/or other definitions) may be unsuitable to meet the demands of evolving wireless communication systems (e.g., a radio communication system and/or other wireless communication systems). 
     Referring now to  FIG.  3   , depicted is an example wireless communication system  300 , such as a cellular communication system. In the cellular communication system, one or more identifiers may be utilized for identification of a radio communication service, such as a physical cell identity (PCI) and/or a Layer-3 cell identity (CI). For example, the PCI (or Layer-1 cell identity), the CI and/or other identifiers may be utilized for service identification in a wireless communication node(s)  302  (e.g., a ground terminal, a base station, a gNB, an eNB, or a serving node) and/or a cell. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  4   , a wireless communication device (e.g., a UE or a served node) may determine, obtain and/or receive the identifier (e.g., the PCI  402 , the CI  404 , and/or other identifiers) according to (e.g., using contents/information in) at least one transmission (e.g., a synchronization signal  408 , a system information block (SIB)  406 , a physical broadcast channel (PBCH), a reference signal, and/or other signals or transmissions) from the wireless communication node(s)  302 . For example, a wireless communication device may obtain and/or receive the PCI  402  according to a synchronization signal  408  sent and/or transmitted by the wireless communication node(s)  302 . The PCI  402  value(s) may range from 0 to 503 in Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, and from 0 to 1007 in New Radio (NR) systems. In another example, the wireless communication device may determine, obtain and/or receive the CI  404  according to a Layer-3 SIB1  406  broadcast or transmission from the wireless communication node(s)  302 . The CI  404  may be a 36-bits identifier (or an identifier of some other defined length) that can be utilized for cell identification, e.g., within a public land mobile network (PLMN). 
     From a wireless communication system perspective, a cell can refer to a wireless coverage region, and may relate to a type of entity on the network or within the wireless communication node(s)  302 . Radio network functions (e.g., connection setup, mobility management, paging, and/or other functions) may be based on the service(s) of the cell. The wireless communication device(s) may identify, detect, and/or perceive the cell as the minimum radio network function unit. 
     Technical fields relating to radio communication systems may show an increased interest for massive antenna applications and user-centric networking. A desire to distinguish the different antennas and/or beams in massive antenna applications/technologies (e.g. beam forming) may lead to a demand for higher resolution radio network functions. User-centric networking may provide an enhanced user experience, by for example, enabling seamless mobility management. User-centric networking applications may utilize and/or require lower resolution radio network functions. The cell as the minimum radio network function unit may be unable to meet the different or contradictory demands for enabling massive antenna applications/technologies and user-centric networking applications. 
     The systems and methods presented herein include a novel method for identification of radio communication service. A receiving device (or served entity) can determine and/or utilize a novel identifier (e.g., a transmission control indication state identifier (TCI) and/or other identifiers) to identify a transmission control indication state comprising one or more types of information (e.g., information related to beam, beam forming, antenna, signal reception attributes and/or other types of information). A receiving device may receive and/or obtain at least one transmission (e.g., a SIB, a synchronization signal, a PBCH, a reference signal, a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), a physical channel resource configuration, and/or other transmissions or signals) from a transmitting device (e.g., a serving entity or a wireless communication node  302 , such as a base station). The at least one transmission may be related to, associated with, and/or linked to the novel identifier, such as the TCI, for instance by including or having information that can be used to form or establish the novel identifier. The receiving device may determine, generate, and/or establish the identifier (e.g. the TCI and/or other identifier(s)) based on the received and/or obtained transmission. 
     A. General Design of the TCI 
     Referring now to  FIG.  5   , depicted is a block diagram of an example system  500  for identifying radio communication services. A cell area  502  (or domain) may include at least one wireless communication node  302  and be associated with at least one identifier, such as PCI(s), CI(s), TCI(s), and/or other identifiers. The PCI, the Layer-3 (or RRC layer) CI, and/or other identifiers may be utilized as coarse-grained identifiers of the cell area  502 . The TCI and/or other identifiers may be defined and/or determined to be utilized as fine-grained identifiers of the cell area  502  (or domain). The wireless communication node(s)  302  may relate and/or associate the TCI and/or other identifiers to one or more antennas (or other transmission or reception device(s)) and/or beams. The wireless communication device(s) may be unaware of the existence and/or presence of said transmission antennas and/or beams. The wireless communication device(s) may relate and/or associate the TCI and/or other identifiers to a transmission control indication state upon receiving at least one transmission. For example, the wireless communication device(s) may relate the TCI to (e.g., use the TCI to describe or include information about) a delay spread upon receiving a SIB and a reference signal. The wireless communication device(s) may receive and/or obtain at least one transmission from the wireless communication node(s)  302 , such as a physical channel (e.g., the PBCH and/or other channels) and/or a signal (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS), a secondary synchronization signal (SSS), a CSI-RS, and/or other signals). The wireless communication device(s) may receive and/or obtain the at least one transmission communicated using certain physical resource(s), for example, a synchronization signal/PBCH block (SSB) resource and/or a CSI-RS resource. 
     The SSB(s) (or other block(s) comprising channels and/or signals) may be related and/or associated to a same identifier(s), such as a same PCI and/or other identifier(s). The SSB(s) with the same identifier(s) (e.g., PCI) may be related and/or mapped to one or more SSB resource(s). Therefore, an identifier that is associated with one or more SSB resources may have at least 30% (e.g., 40, 50 or other percent) higher granularity compared to other identifiers, such as the PCI. A cell may be related to and/or associated with one or more identifier(s), such as the PCI and/or the CI. A cell with a PCI and/or CI may be configured with one or more CSI-RS resources. Therefore, an identifier that is associated with or linked to one or more CSI-RS resources may have at least 30% (e.g., 40, 50 or other percent) higher granularity compared to other identifiers, such as the PCI. 
     A wireless communication device can determine and/or utilize an identifier (e.g., a transmission control indication state identifier (TCI) and/or other identifiers) to identify a transmission control indication state. A transmission control indication state may comprise various types of information, such as information related to signal reception attributes (e.g., doppler shift, doppler spread, average delay, delay spread, and/or other spatial parameters). The wireless communication device(s) may receive, determine, generate, and/or obtain the TCI from at least one transmission by the wireless communication node(s)  302 . For example, the wireless communication device(s) may determine the TCI from multiple transmissions, such as a synchronization signal (e.g., PSS/SSS) and a reference signal (e.g., CSI-RS). 
     The wireless communication device may determine and/or receive an identity of a domain, such as a cell ID, a service area ID, a PLMN ID, and/or other domain-based identities. The wireless communication device may utilize at least one transmission (e.g., the synchronization signal, the SIB, and/or other transmissions) to determine the identity of the domain. For example, the wireless communication device may utilize the information from a PSS/SSS and/or a SIB1 to determine a cell ID. The wireless communication device may utilize the identity of a domain, and any other information, to determine and/or identify the transmission control indication state(s) within the domain (e.g., a cell, an area, a PLMN, and/or other domains). For example, the wireless communication device may use a PLMN ID together with other information to determine an identifier for the transmission control indication state (e.g., of the PLMN identified by the PLMN ID). 
     A TCI may be a long bit string (e.g., longer than 16 bits) and/or a large integer. The TCI may be generated, specified, and/or indicated with advertisement information and/or system information (e.g., a SIB1 or other block(s) comprising channels and/or signals). The TCI may be generated, specified, and/or indicated with system information. The system information may be periodically broadcasted and/or provided on-demand, such as requested by the wireless communication device. The TCI(s) may be generated, specified, and/or indicated with a wireless communication device message, such as an RRC configuration message via unicast. 
     The TCI may be configured to relate to, associate with, and/or link to one or more physical resources. The physical resource(s) may be associated with one or more physical channels and/or signals. The wireless communication device may construct, assemble, form or otherwise determine the TCI upon receiving the physical channel(s) and/or signal(s). The wireless communication device may receive and/or obtain one or more physical resources associated with one or more TCIs. The wireless communication device may be configured to fulfill and/or satisfy a set of rules for TCI selection (e.g., rules for selecting the TCI, rules for unselecting the TCI, rules for reselecting the TCI, and/or other rules or policies). The set of rules for TCI selection may comprise one or more thresholds and/or one or more time intervals. In some embodiments, the wireless communication device(s) may obtain a measurement quantity by measuring, assessing, gathering, and/or comparing information related to the physical resources, the physical channels, and/or the physical signals. The measurement quantity may be compared or assessed accordingly to the set of rules for TCI selection, such as being compared to one or more thresholds. In some embodiments, the wireless communication device(s) may select, deselect, and/or reselect the TCI(s) after at least one time interval of the set of rules for TCI selection. 
     The TCI(s) can be related, associated, and/or linked to different types of physical resources with different types of physical channel and/or signals. For example, the TCI(s) may be related and/or linked to a SSB resource and a CSI-RS resource. Hence, the TCI(s) may be associated with one or more types of physical resources. In some embodiments, the TCI may comprise one or more fields and/or structures. For example, the most significant bit(s) of the TCI(s) may be the same for one or more physical resources. In this case, the most significant bit(s) of the TCI(s) may be indicated and/or specified once for the one or more physical resources. The most significant bit(s) and the least significant bit(s) of the TCI(s) may be indicated and/or specified separately. For example, the most significant bit(s) of the TCI may be related to a cell identity while the least significant bit(s) of the TCI may be associated with a resource (e.g., a SSB resource, a CSI-RS resource, and/or other resources). 
     The TCI(s) may be reselected more frequently than other identifiers, such as the CI and/or PCI. The CI, PCI, and/or other identifiers may be reselected based on the selection and/or reselection of the TCI. For example, in response to reselecting the TCI, the CI (or other identifier) may be reselected. The selection, reselection, and/or deselection of the identifiers (e.g., TCI, PCI, CI, and/or other identifiers) may be configured and/or determined by a set of rules, configurations, and/or network parameters. In some embodiments, the wireless communication device(s) may receive and/or obtain one or more configurations regarding the selection, reselection, and/or deselection of the identifiers (e.g., TCI, PCI, CI, and/or other identifiers). In certain embodiments, the wireless communication device(s) may select, reselect, and/or deselect the identifiers using separate configurations. For example, the wireless communication device(s) may select the TCI using a first configuration and may select the CI using a second configuration. 
     B. Detailed Design of the TCI 
     The wireless communication device may determine, generate, and/or establish a TCI using the identity of the domain and/or (information from) at least one transmission from the wireless communication node(s)  302 . The identity of the domain may comprise a cell ID, a service area ID, a PLMN ID, and/or other domain identifiers. The identity of the domain may be selected automatically and/or manually specified. The at least one or more transmissions may comprise a SIB, a synchronization signal (e.g., PSS/SSS, or other signals), a PBCH, and/or a RS. For example, the wireless communication device may determine the TCI by using one or more transmissions, (e.g., the SIB and the CSI-RS) and the PLMN ID in the synchronization signal(s) (e.g., the PSS/SSS). In some embodiments, the wireless communication device may determine the identity of the domain by using at least one transmission (e.g., the synchronization signal and/or the SIB). For example, the wireless communication device(s) may determine the cell ID using a SIB1 (e.g., obtain or extract the cell ID from the SIB1). In certain embodiments, the identity of the domain may be determined in conjunction with the determination of the TCI. The identity of the domain may be used (together with a TCI, or as part of the TCI) to identify a transmission control indication state within a domain (e.g., a cell, a service area, a PLMN, and/or other domains).

The wireless communication device may receive and/or obtain at least one transmission (e.g., the SIB, the PBCH, and/or other transmissions) that indicates and/or provides information (e.g., CI, PCI, SSBI, and/or other information) to determine the TCI. The wireless communication device may determine, create, and/or generate the TCI  610  by using the identity of the domain in the SIB  606  and/or additional information in the SIB  606 .

Computer-readable media includes both computer storage media and communication media including any medium that can be enabled to transfer a computer program or code from one place to another. A storage media can be any available media that can be accessed by a computer. By way of example, and not limitation, such computer-readable media can include RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium that can be used to store desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and that can be accessed by a computer. 
     In this document, the term “module” as used herein, refers to software, firmware, hardware, and any combination of these elements for performing the associated functions described herein. Additionally, for purpose of discussion, the various modules are described as discrete modules; however, as would be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art, two or more modules may be combined to form a single module that performs the associated functions according embodiments of the present solution. 
     Additionally, memory or other storage, as well as communication components, may be employed in embodiments of the present solution. It will be appreciated that, for clarity purposes, the above description has described embodiments of the present solution with reference to different functional units and processors. However, it will be apparent that any suitable distribution of functionality between different functional units, processing logic elements or domains may be used without detracting from the present solution. For example, functionality illustrated to be performed by separate processing logic elements, or controllers, may be performed by the same processing logic element, or controller. Hence, references to specific functional units are only references to a suitable means for providing the described functionality, rather than indicative of a strict logical or physical structure or organization. 
     Various modifications to the embodiments described in this disclosure will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be applied to other embodiments without departing from the scope of this disclosure. Thus, the disclosure is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the novel features and principles disclosed herein, as recited in the claims below.
