Claims (44)

1. A method of operating a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS), first information associated with a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates and second information associated with a number of control channel elements (CCE);

transmitting a beam failure recovery (BFR) request message to the BS in a first slot in case that a link failure occurs;

selecting a search space set of a first control region and a search space set of a second control region associated with BFR in a second slot; and

monitoring control information for receiving a BFR response message in the selected search space set of the second control region,

wherein the search space set of the second control region is selected preferentially in the second slot in case that information associated with a PDCCH of the first control region and the second control region does not satisfy at least one of a first condition determined based on the first information or a second condition determined based on the second information.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, after the search space set of the second control region is selected, a search space set of which a search space type is set to a common search space is selected from the first control region.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein, after the search space set of which the search space type is set to a common search space is selected, a search space having a low search space index is preferentially selected among search space sets of which search space types are set to a UE-specific search space.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the information associated with the PDCCH comprises a number of PDCCH candidates and a number of CCEs configured in the first control region and the second control region, and

wherein the first condition is that a number of configured PDCCH candidates be less than or equal to a number of PDCCHs determined based on the first information, and the second condition is that a number of configured CCEs be less than or equal to a number of CCEs determined based on the second information.

5. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive first information associated with a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates and second information associated with a number of control channel elements (CCEs) from a base station (BS),

in case that a link failure occurs, transmit a beam failure recovery (BFR) request message to the BS in a first slot,

select a search space set of a first control region and a search space set of a second slot associated with BFR in a second slot, and

monitor control information for receiving a BFR response message in the selected search space set of the second control region,

wherein the search space set of the second control region is preferentially selected in the second slot in case that information associated with a PDCCH of the first control region and the second control region does not satisfy at least one of a first condition determined based on the first information or a second condition determined based on the second information.

6. The UE as claimed in claim 5 , wherein, after the search space set of the second control region is selected, a search space set of which a search space type is set to a common search space is selected from the first control region.

7. The UE as clamed in claim 6 , wherein, after the search space set, the search space type of which is set to a common search space, is selected, a search space having a low search space index is preferentially selected from among search space sets of which search space types are set to a UE-specific search space.

8. The UE as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the information associated with the PDCCH comprises a number of PDCCH candidates and a number of CCEs configured in the first control region and the second control region, and

wherein the first condition is that a number of configured PDCCH candidates be less than or equal to a number of PDCCHs determined based on the first information and the second condition is that a number of configured CCEs be less than or equal to a number of CCEs determined based on the second information.

9. A method of operating a base station (BS), the method comprising:

transmitting first information associated with a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates and second information associated with a number of control channel elements (CCEs) to a user equipment (UE);

receiving a beam failure recovery (BFR) request message from a user equipment (UE) in a first slot;

selecting a search space set of a first control region and a search space set of a second control region associated with BFR in a second slot; and

transmitting control information for reception of a BFR response message in a resource of the selected search space set of the second control region,

wherein the search space set of the second control region is preferentially selected in the second slot in case that information associated with a PDCCH of the first control region and the second control region does not satisfy at least one of a first condition determined based on the first information or a second condition determined based on the second information.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein, after the search space set of the second control region is selected, a search space set of which a search space type is set to a common search space is selected from the first control region.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein, after the search space set of which the search space type is set to a common search space is selected, a search space having a low search space index is preferentially selected from among search space sets of which search space types are set to a UE-specific search space.

12. The method as clamed in claim 9 , wherein the information associated with the PDCCH comprises a number of PDCCH candidates and a number of CCEs configured in the first control region and the second control region, and

wherein the first condition is that a number of configured PDCCH candidates be less than or equal to a number of PDCCHs determined based on the first information, and the second condition is that a number of configured CCEs be less than or equal to a number of CCEs determined based on the second information.

13. A base station (BS), comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a user equipment (UE), first information associated with a number of physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) candidates and second information associated with a number of control channel elements (CCEs),
