Abstract

A method and apparatus for performing beam failure recovery in a wireless communication system are disclosed. A method for performing beam failure recovery by a user equipment according to embodiment of the present disclosure may include transmitting, to a base station, capability information including a maximum number of BFD-RSs per a BFD-RS set supported by the UE and receiving, from the base station, configuration information including information related to at least one BFD-RS set, and each of the at least one BFD-RS set may include the maximum number of BFD-RSs or less.

Claims (39)

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

transmitting, to a base station, capability information related to beam failure recovery (BFR) based on two BFD-RS (beam failure detection-reference signal) sets; and

triggering the BFR for at least one of a first BFD-RS set or a second BFD-RS set based on detecting a beam failure instance (BFI) in the at least one of the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set,

wherein the capability information includes a maximum number of BFD-RS resources per a BFD-RS set per a bandwidth part (BWP),

wherein, based on a radio resource control (RRC) signaling for configuring the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set being not received from the base station and a number of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states configured for a first control resource set (CORESET) group or a second CORESET group being more than the maximum number of the BFD-RS resources:

the first BFD-RS set is related to the first CORESET group and the second BFD-RS set is related to the second CORESET group, and

the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set is determined to include at least one BFD-RS resource associated with at least one TCI state related to the first CORESET group or the second CORESET group, and

wherein, based on the RRC signaling being received from the base station, a number of BFD-RS resources of the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set is less than or equal to the maximum number of BFD-RS resources.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

at least one BFD-RS resource corresponding to at least one TCI state configured for a CORESET having a shortest monitoring periodicity of a search space set among at least one CORESET in the first CORESET group or the second CORESET group is included first in the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the capability information includes a total number of BFD-RS resources that can be included in the first BFD-RS set and the second BFD-RS set supported by the UE.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

based on the monitoring periodicity of at least one search space sets corresponding to multiple CORESETs in the first CORESET group or the second CORESET group being same, an order of the multiple CORESETs is determined based on an index value of the multiple CORESETs.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein:

at least one BFD-RS resource corresponding to at least one TCI state configured for a CORESET having a highest index value among at least one CORESET in the first CORESET group or the second CORESET group is included first in the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the BFD-RS includes a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS).

7. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate 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:

transmit, to a base station through the at least one transceiver, capability information related to beam failure recovery (BFR) based on two BFD-RS (beam failure detection-reference signal) sets; and

trigger the BFR for at least one of a first BFD-RS set or a second BFD-RS set based on detecting a beam failure instance (BFI) in the at least one of the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set,

wherein the capability information includes a maximum number of BFD-RS resources per a BFD-RS set per a bandwidth part (BWP),

wherein, based on a radio resource control (RRC) signaling for configuring the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set being not received from the base station and a number of transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states configured for a first control resource set (CORESET) group or a second CORESET group being more than the maximum number of the BFD-RS resources:

the first BFD-RS set is related to the first CORESET group and the second BFD-RS set is related to the second CORESET group, and

the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set is determined to include at least one BFD-RS resource associated with at least one TCI state related to the first CORESET group or the second CORESET group, and

wherein, based on the RRC signaling being received from the base station, a number of BFD-RS resources of the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set is less than or equal to the maximum number of BFD-RS resources.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein:

at least one BFD-RS resource corresponding to at least one TCI state configured for a CORESET having a shortest monitoring periodicity of a search space set among at least one CORESET in the first CORESET group or the second CORESET group is included first in the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set.

9. The UE of claim 7 , wherein:

the capability information includes a total number of BFD-RS resources that can be included in the first BFD-RS set and the second BFD-RS set supported by the UE.

10. The UE of claim 7 , wherein:

based on a monitoring periodicity of at least one search space sets corresponding to multiple CORESETs in the first CORESET group or the second CORESET group being same, an order of the multiple CORESETs is determined based on an index value of the multiple CORESETs.

11. The UE of claim 10 , wherein:

at least one BFD-RS resource corresponding to at least one TCI state configured for a CORESET having a highest index value among at least one CORESET in the first CORESET group or the second CORESET group is included first in the first BFD-RS set or the second BFD-RS set.

12. The UE of claim 7 , wherein:

the BFD-RS includes a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS).
