1. A wireless communication method, comprising:
receiving, by a wireless communication device from a network, first signaling, wherein the first signaling activates one or more beam state codepoints, each of the one or more beam state codepoints comprises one or more beam states for a direction, wherein the direction comprises downlink, uplink or both downlink and uplink;
determining, by the wireless communication device, at least one beam state according to the one or more beam state codepoints, wherein determining the at least one beam state according to the one or more beam state codepoints comprises determining the at least one beam state based on a first pointer, wherein the first pointer comprises at least one of:
a pointer for a downlink transmission or a pointer for an uplink transmission; or
a pointer for both the downlink transmission and the uplink transmission; and applying, by the wireless communication device, the at least one beam state to a target transmission based on the direction of the at least one beam state, wherein the target transmission comprises at least one of the downlink transmission or the uplink transmission.
