To schedule panel specific uplink transmissions, the UE may assist in the scheduling of the panel specific uplink transmission by improving the manner in which the specific panel is indicated for uplink transmission. The apparatus receives, from a base station, an indication of a UE panel for an uplink transmission. The apparatus determines a Tx panel at the UE based on the indication of the UE panel. The apparatus transmits, to the base station, the uplink transmission using the Tx beam associated with the Tx panel.
