Abstract:
An apparatus may determine a mode in association with frequency/beam hopping. The mode may be configured semi-statically through RRC signaling and/or dynamically through a MAC-CE. The apparatus may determine the mode based on the RRC signaling/MAC-CE in order to switch between different configurations of frequency and beam hopping for single-beam and multi-beam PUCCH transmissions. The apparatus is configured to receive a PUCCH resource IE for a PUCCH resource indicating a PUCCH resource intra-slot frequency hopping configuration. The apparatus is configured to determine whether multiple PUCCH beams are activated for the PUCCH resource. The apparatus is configured to determine a mode for frequency hopping and beam hopping for the PUCCH resource based on at least one of the PUCCH resource intra-slot frequency hopping configuration, or the determination whether multiple PUCCH beams are activated. The apparatus is configured to transmit on the PUCCH resource based on the determined mode.
