1. A method for beam reporting to facilitate multiple transmission and reception points, multi-TRPs, transmission schemes, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, a configuration to report a beam quality, wherein the configuration indicates reporting at least one layer 1, L1, measurement for multiple beams received at a user equipment device (UE), wherein the multiple beams are divided into at least two groups, and wherein each group of the at least two groups is associated with a TRP-UE antenna panel beam pairing; and
reporting the beam quality based on the configuration, wherein the report comprises, for each beam of the multiple beams, a beam index and an L1 measurement.
