Method and device for beam failure recovery
View Patent ↗A method and a device for beam failure recovery are provided. The method includes determining signal quality of a designated beam being out of a required range of control channel transmission, where the designated beam is designated by a network for control channel transmission; performing a beam measurement to determine a plurality of recommended beams, where signal quality of the plurality of recommended beams is within a preset range; and reporting beam identifications of the plurality of recommended beams to the network, so that the network can change the designated beam based on the plurality of recommended beams. The method and device can increase a success rate of beam failure recovery.
1. A method for beam failure recovery, comprising:
determining signal quality of a designated beam being out of a required range of control channel transmission, where the designated beam is designated by a network for control channel transmission;

reporting beam identifications of the plurality of recommended beams to the network, so that the network selects among the plurality of recommended beams identified by the beam identifications and changes the designated beam to one of the plurality of recommended beams for beam failure recovery;
wherein reporting the beam identifications of the plurality of recommended beams to the network comprises:
cyclically shifting a preset signal sequence to obtain a plurality of shift signal sequences, where different shift signal sequences correspond to different recommended beams;
mixing the plurality of shift signal sequences to obtain the plurality of recommended beam signal sequences;
transmitting the plurality of recommended beam signal sequences to the network.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the beam identifications comprise beam indexes.
