Abstract

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method by a terminal in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes obtaining information about at least one reference signal for beam failure detection; determining whether a beam failure is detected with respect to the at least one reference signal including a first reference signal set, a second reference signal set and a third reference signal set; and in a case that the beam failure is detected with respect to at least one of the first, second, or third reference signal set, transmitting beam failure recovery request information for the at least one reference signal. The first and second reference signal sets correspond to first and second CORESET pools, respectively, and the third reference signal set corresponds to a cell associated with the first and second CORESET pools.
