Abstract

A method and device for performing beam failure recovery in a wireless communication system. A method for a user equipment (UE) to perform beam failure recovery (BFR) in a wireless communication system may include: receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) signaling for configuring at least one parameter related to a BFR procedure for each of a plurality of serving cells configured with two beam failure detection (BFD)-reference signal (RS) sets; based on a beam failure being detected for at least one of the two BFD-RS sets configured for at least one serving cell among the plurality of serving cells, triggering the BFR procedure for the at least one of the two BFD-RS sets based on the RRC signaling; and transmitting, to the base station, an enhanced BFR media access control (MAC)-control element (CE).

Claims (31)

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

receiving, from a base station, a radio resource control (RRC) signaling related to a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure for each of a plurality of serving cells configured with two beam failure detection (BFD)-reference signal (RS) sets;

based on a beam failure being detected for at least one of the two BFD-RS sets configured for at least one serving cell among the plurality of serving cells, triggering the BFR procedure for the at least one of the two BFD-RS sets based on the RRC signaling; and

transmitting, to the base station, an enhanced BFR media access control (MAC)-control element (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 secondary cell (SCell) among the plurality of serving cells, and

wherein 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:

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) 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 at least one transceiver,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from a base station through the at least one transceiver, a radio resource control (RRC) signaling related to a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure for each of a plurality of serving cells configured with two beam failure detection (BFD)-reference signal(RS) sets;

based on a beam failure being detected for at least one of the two BFD-RS sets configured for at least one serving cell among the plurality of serving cells, trigger the BFR procedure for the at least one of the two BFD-RS sets based on the RRC signaling; and

transmit, to the base station through the at least one transceiver, an enhanced BFR media access control (MAC)-control element (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 secondary cell (SCell) among the plurality of serving cells, and

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

7. The UE of claim 6 , 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.

8. The UE of claim 7 , 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.

9. The UE of claim 6 , 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).

10. The UE of claim 6 , wherein:

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