1. An electronic device for a control device, comprising circuitry configured to:
receive radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a base station, the RRC signaling including:
a groupBasedBeamReporting parameter that indicates whether or not group based beam reporting is enabled, and
resource configurations of a channel state information reference signal (CSI- RS) or a Synchronization Signal/Physical Broadcast Channel (SSB),
measure the CSI-RS or the SSB on a plurality of beams based on the RRC signaling, and
generate a CSI report for the base station, the CSI report comprising a plurality of CSI- RS indicator (CRIs) or SSB resource indicators (SSBRIs) for the base station to select for a downlink transmission to the electronic device,
wherein the circuitry is configured to place the plurality of CRIs or SSBRIs in the CSI report in a group based on the groupBasedBeamReporting parameter indicating that the group based beam reporting is enabled,
wherein the group comprises multiple CRIs or SSBRIs consecutively arranged in the CSI report following a group mark, and
wherein the circuitry is further configured to receive, from the base station, Downlink Control Information (DCI) that indicates a plurality of transmission configuration indication (TCD) state IDs that are encoded into a single TCI field, wherein the plurality of TCI state IDs that are encoded into the single TCI field indicates a set of beams selected by the base station.
