Abstract

A wireless communication device may receive a configuration of at least one radio resource control (RRC) parameter for X channel measurement reference signal (CMR) resource sets or X CMR resource subsets of CMRs from a corresponding set of CMR resources. The parameter X can be an integer greater than 1. The wireless communication device may measure channel quality for at least one CMR resource of the X CMR resource sets or the X CMR resource subsets according to the configuration. The wireless communication device may send a report including at least one of a CMR index or channel quality to the wireless communication node. The report may include at least one of: a CMR index, or a channel quality.

Claims (46)

1. A method comprising:

identifying, by a wireless communication device, a new beam including a reference signal (RS) from a new candidate beam indication reference signal resource set (NBI-RS set) with corresponding link quality that is larger than or equal to a threshold; and

applying, by the wireless communication device, the new beam to a signal after 28 symbols from a last received symbol of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), according to a smallest subcarrier spacing of a response receiving cell and at least a first cell.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least a first cell comprises at least one of:

each failed cell, or

all failed cells.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein a cell of the at least a first cell is determined to be a failed cell upon the wireless communication device detecting one or more beam failures each of which is detected based on a beam failure detecting reference signal resource set (BFD-RS set) configured on the cell for a link.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the link comprises at least one of:

CORESETpoolIndex;

one or more transmission reception points (TRPs);

beam failure detecting reference signal resource set (BFD-RS set); or

one or more identifiers (IDs) of the one or more TRPs.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the all failed cells are associated with a same link.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal comprises at least one of:

PDCCH monitoring, using a same antenna port quasi co-location parameters as the RS, or

physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmitting, using a same spatial domain filter as the RS.

7. A wireless communication device comprising:

at least one processor configured to:

identify a new beam including a reference signal (RS) from a new candidate beam indication reference signal resource set (NBI-RS set) with corresponding link quality that is larger than or equal to a threshold; and

apply the new beam to a signal after 28 symbols from a last received symbol of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), according to a smallest subcarrier spacing of a response receiving cell and at least a first cell.

8. The wireless communication device of claim 7 , wherein the at least a first cell comprises at least one of:

each failed cell, or

all failed cells.

9. The wireless communication device of claim 8 , wherein a cell of the at least a first cell is determined to be a failed cell upon the wireless communication device detecting one or more beam failures each of which is detected based on a beam failure detecting reference signal resource set (BFD-RS set) configured on the cell for a link.

10. The wireless communication device of claim 9 , wherein the link comprises at least one of:

CORESETpoolIndex;

one or more transmission reception points (TRPs);

beam failure detecting reference signal resource set (BFD-RS set); or

one or more identifiers (IDs) of the one or more TRPs.

11. The wireless communication device of claim 8 , wherein the all failed cells are associated with a same link.

12. The wireless communication device of claim 7 , wherein the signal comprises at least one of:

PDCCH monitoring, using a same antenna port quasi co-location parameters as the RS, or

physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmitting, using a same spatial domain filter as the RS.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions, which when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:

identify a new beam including a reference signal (RS) from a new candidate beam indication reference signal resource set (NBI-RS set) with corresponding link quality that is larger than or equal to a threshold; and

apply the new beam to a signal after 28 symbols from a last received symbol of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), according to a smallest subcarrier spacing of a response receiving cell and at least a first cell.

14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the at least a first cell comprises at least one of:

each failed cell, or

all failed cells.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein a cell of the at least a first cell is determined to be a failed cell upon the wireless communication device detecting one or more beam failures each of which is detected based on a beam failure detecting reference signal resource set (BFD-RS set) configured on the cell for a link.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the link comprises at least one of:

CORESETpoolIndex;

one or more transmission reception points (TRPs);

beam failure detecting reference signal resource set (BFD-RS set); or

one or more identifiers (IDs) of the one or more TRPs.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the all failed cells are associated with a same link.
