- Claim: 3. The method of claim 1, wherein: each entity has a configuration; and at least one configuration includes bandwidth (BW), bandwidth parts (BWP)s, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) processes, transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, reference signals (RS)s, control and data channel resources, or a combination thereof.
- Claim: 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the channel includes Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), or Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH).
- Claim: 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the channel of each entity of the plurality of entities carries the same content.
- Claim: 6. The method of claim 5, wherein management functionalities corresponding to the plurality of entities at least include active BWP switching, and beam management.
- Claim: 7. The method of claim 5, wherein each of the plurality of entities have identical active bandwidth part (BWP) identities (IDs), and transmit (Tx)/receive (Rx) beams.
- Claim: 8. The method of claim 5, wherein the channel of each entity of the plurality of entities carries a jointly encoded content.
- Claim: 9. The method of claim 5, wherein at least two entities of the plurality of entities have independent management functionalities.
- Claim: 10. The method of claim 1, wherein: the channel comprises Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and further comprising scheduling another channel including Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), or Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) for transmission over the plurality of entities; and the scheduled channel on each entity of the plurality of entities is jointly encoded over the plurality of entities.
- Claim: 11. The method of claim 10, wherein: the entities have identical management functionalities; and the management functionalities at least include active BWP switching, and beam management.
- Claim: 12. The method of claim 10, wherein: the entities have identical management functionalities; and the entities have identical active bandwidth parts (BWP) identities (IDs), and transmit (Tx)/receive (Rx) beams.
- Claim: 13. An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising: at least one processor; and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to: receive, by a user equipment (UE), a channel via each entity of a plurality of entities; and combine the channel across the plurality of entities to generate a combined signal for decoding.
- Claim: 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein at least two entities of the plurality of entities have different configurations.
- Claim: 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the at least two entities of the plurality of entities having different configurations have independent management functionalities.
- Claim: 16. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the channels of at least two entities of the plurality of entities have the same configuration.
- Claim: 17. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein: at least two entities have independent management functionalities; and the management functionalities at least include active bandwidth part (BWP) identities (IDs), and transmit (Tx)/receive (Rx) beams.
- Claim: 18. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein: at least two entities have independent management functionalities; and at least two entities have independent active bandwidth part (BWP) identities (IDs), and/or transmit (Tx)/receive (Rx) beams.
- Claim: 19. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: receive a common cell identity (ID) and a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) ID for each entity of the plurality of entities; and wherein the common cell ID comprises a virtual cell ID or a cell ID corresponding to one entity of the plurality of entities.
- Claim: 20. An apparatus configured for wireless communication, comprising: means for receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a channel via each entity of a plurality of entities; and means for combining the channel across the plurality of entities to generate a combined signal for decoding.
- Claim: 21. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein: each entity of the plurality of entities has the same configuration; and the channel of each entity of the plurality of entities has the same configuration.
- Claim: 22. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein: each entity of the plurality of entities has the same configuration; and the channel of each entity of the plurality entities carries the same content.
- Claim: 23. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the plurality of entities include a control resource set (CORESET).
- Claim: 24. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the plurality of entities include a subset of entities of a control resource set (CORESET).
- Claim: 25. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the channel of each entity of the plurality of entity includes jointly encoded control information.
- Claim: 26. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code executable by a computer for causing the computer to: receive, by a user equipment (UE), a channel via each entity of a plurality of entities; and combine the channel across the plurality of entities to generate a combined signal for decoding.
- Claim: 27. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 26, wherein: the channel comprises Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH), and further comprising scheduling another channel including Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH), Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH), or Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) for transmission over the plurality of entities; and the scheduled channel on each entity of the plurality of entities is individually encoded over the entity.
- Claim: 28. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 26, wherein the program code is further executable by the computer for causing the computer to receive a common cell identity (ID), a common bandwidth part (BWP) ID, or both for each entity of the plurality of entities.
