Method and device for controlling beam in wireless communication system
The present disclosure relates to: a communication method for converging an IoT technology with a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate beyond the 4G system; and a system therefor. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail business, security and safety services, etc.) on the basis of 5G communication technologies and IoT-related technologies.
1. A method to control a beam by a terminal, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station, beam management timing configuration (BMTC) including information required for a beam management operation, wherein the information required for the beam management operation includes a first threshold value and a second threshold value related to a change of a serving beam;
determining to change from a first serving beam to a second serving beam in case that a first value for the first serving beam is less than the first threshold value and a second value for the second serving beam is greater than the second threshold value, wherein the first value is derived from a signal received in the first serving beam and the second value is derived from a signal received in the second serving beam;
performing a beam failure recovery in case that the first value for the first serving beam is less than the first threshold value and the second value for the second serving beam is less than the second threshold value; and
monitoring downlink information based on the information required for the beam management operation.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
maintaining the first serving beam in case that the first value is greater than the first threshold value.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein each of the first value and the second value is at least one of a value of reference signal received power (RSRP), a value of reference signal received quality (RSRQ), or a value of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR).
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
comparing the second value with the second threshold value, in case that the first value is not greater than the first threshold value.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the base station, information indicating a change in cycle information included in the BMTC.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the information required for the beam management operation includes at least one of cycle information, a start time point of the BMTC, or a beam management operation duration.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein monitoring the downlink information further includes:
identifying a discontinuous reception (DRX) mode based on the information required for the beam management operation; and
monitoring the downlink information according to the identified DRX mode.
8. A terminal to control a beam, the terminal comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:
receive, via the transceiver from a base station, beam management timing configuration (BMTC) including information required for abeam management operation, wherein the information required for the beam management operation includes a first threshold value and a second threshold value related to a change of a serving beam;
determine to change from a first serving beam to a second serving beam in case that a first value for the first serving beam is less than the first threshold value and a second value for the second serving beam is greater than the second threshold value, wherein the first value is derived from a signal received in the first serving beam and the second value is derived from a signal received in the second serving beam;
perform, via the transceiver, a beam failure recovery in case that the first value for the first serving beam is less than the first threshold value and the second value for the second serving beam is less than the second threshold value; and
monitor, via the transceiver, downlink information based on the information required for the beam management operation.
9. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to maintain the first serving beam in case that the first value is greater than the first threshold value.
10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein each of the first value and the second value is at least one of a value of reference signal received power (RSRP), a value of reference signal received quality (RSRQ), or a value of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR).
11. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to:
compare the second value with the second threshold value, in case that the first value is not greater than the first threshold value.
12. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the terminal is configured to receive, from the base station, information indicating a change in cycle information included in the BMTC.
13. The terminal of claim 8 , wherein the information required for the beam management operation includes at least one of cycle information, a start time point of the BMTC, or a beam management operation duration.
