Abstract

Claims (24)

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

based on a beam failure being detected for at least one of two beam failure detection (BFD)-reference signal (RS) sets configured for at least one serving cell among a plurality of serving cells, triggering at least one beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure for the at least one of the two BFD-RS sets;

based on the at least one BFR procedure being triggered and not cancelled for a first secondary cell (SCell) among the at least one serving cell, generating an enhanced BFR media access control (MAC)-control element (CE) based on at least one available uplink-shared channel (UL-SCH) resource; and

transmitting, to a base station, the enhanced BFR MAC-CE,

wherein the enhanced BFR MAC CE includes i) at least one first field corresponding to each of the at least one serving cell indicating whether the beam failure is detected for a single BFD-RS set among the two BFD-RS sets or all of the two BFD-RS sets, ii) a second field indicating an identity (ID) of at least one BFD-RS set among the two BFD-RS sets, iii) a third field indicating whether the beam failure is detected for at least one of two BFD-RS sets configured for a special cell (SpCell) among the plurality of serving cells, and iv) at least one fourth field corresponding to at least one SCell among the plurality of serving cells, and

wherein the at least one SCell includes the first SCell and each of the at least one fourth field indicates whether the beam failure is detected for each of the at least one SCell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the enhanced BFR MAC CE includes a fifth field indicating whether a sixth field related to an index of a candidate beam RS is present in the enhanced BFR MAC CE.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the candidate beam RS includes an RS having a quality value greater than or equal to a predefined value among at least one candidate beam list.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

each of the two BFD-RS sets includes at least one BFD-RS associated with at least one transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state configured for each of two control resource sets (CORESETs).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

a radio resource control (RRC) signaling related to the BFR procedure is received from the base station, and

the RRC signaling includes information related to a beam failure recovery timer and information related to a candidate beam RS list.

6. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver for transmitting and receiving wireless signals; and

at least one processor for controlling the one or more transceivers,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

based on a beam failure being detected for at least one of two beam failure detection (BFD)-reference signal (RS) sets configured for at least one serving cell among a plurality of serving cells, trigger at least one at least one beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure for the at least one of the two BFD-RS sets;

based on the at least one BFR procedure being triggered and not cancelled for a first secondary cell (SCell) among the at least one serving cell, generate an enhanced BFR media access control (MAC)-control element (CE) based on at least one available uplink-shared channel (UL-SCH) resource; and

transmit, to a base station, the enhanced BFR MAC-CE through the at least one transceiver,

wherein the enhanced BFR MAC CE includes i) at least one first field corresponding to each of the at least one serving cell indicating whether the beam failure is detected for a single BFD-RS set among the two BFD-RS sets or all of the two BFD-RS sets, ii) a second field indicating an identity (ID) of at least one BFD-RS set among the two BFD-RS sets, iii) a third field indicating whether the beam failure is detected for at least one of two BFD-RS sets configured for a special cell (SpCell) among the plurality of serving cells, and iv) at least one fourth field corresponding to at least one SCell among the plurality of serving cells, and

wherein the at least one SCell includes the first SCell and each of the at least one fourth field indicates whether the beam failure is detected for each of the at least one SCell.
