Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods for transmitting an uplink signal and a downlink signal. A method for transmitting an uplink signal comprises detecting whether there is a beam failure; if there is a beam failure, determining at least one of whether there is a candidate downlink transmission beam(s) or candidate downlink transmission beam information; and transmitting a beam failure recovery request message to a base station, the beam failure recovery request message being used for informing the base station of at least one of whether there is a candidate downlink transmission beam(s) or candidate downlink transmission beam information. A method for transmitting a downlink signal comprises detecting a beam failure recovery request message, determining at least one of whether there is a candidate downlink transmission beam(s) or candidate downlink transmission beam information in the UE; and transmitting a feedback message corresponding to the beam failure recovery request message.

Claims (40)

1. A method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information including information on at least one reference signal to be used for identifying at least one candidate beam for beam failure recovery and information on a search space for a beam failure recovery response;

selecting a reference signal of which reference signal received power (RSRP) is greater than a predetermined threshold from among the at least one reference signal;

identifying a resource corresponding to the selected reference signal based on an association between the at least one reference signal and at least one beam failure recovery request resource;

transmitting, to the base station, a random access preamble for a beam failure recovery request based on the identified resource;

monitoring a downlink control channel based on the search space identified by the information on the search space for the beam failure recovery response; and

receiving, from the base station, the beam failure recovery response on the downlink control channel.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least one reference signal is one of a synchronization signal (SS) block or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS).

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the random access preamble corresponds to the selected reference signal.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the downlink control channel is identified by a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

5. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a terminal, configuration information including information on at least one reference signal to be used for identifying at least one candidate beam for beam failure recovery and information on a search space for a beam failure recovery response;

receiving, from the terminal, a random access preamble for a beam failure recovery request, based on a resource corresponding to a reference signal selected by the terminal of which a reference signal received power (RSRP) is greater than a predetermined threshold from among the at least one reference signal; and

transmitting the beam failure recovery response on a downlink control channel based on the search space identified by the information on the search space for the beam failure recovery response,

wherein the resource is identified, by the terminal, based on an association between the at least one reference signal and at least one beam failure recovery request resource.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein each of the at least one reference signal is one of a synchronization signal (SS) block or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS).

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the random access preamble corresponds to the reference signal selected by the terminal.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the downlink control channel is identified by a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

9. A terminal for transmitting a beam failure recovery request, the terminal comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, configuration information including information on at least one reference signal to be used for identifying at least one candidate beam for beam failure recovery and information on a search space for a beam failure recovery response,

select a reference signal of which reference signal received power (RSRP) is greater than a predetermined threshold from among the at least one reference signal,

identify a resource corresponding to the selected reference signal based on an association between the at least one reference signal and at least one beam failure recovery request resource,

transmit, to the base station, a random access preamble for a beam failure recovery request based on the identified resource,

monitor a downlink control channel based on the search space identified by the information on the search space for the beam failure recovery response, and

receive, from the base station, the beam failure recovery response on the downlink control channel.

10. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein each of the at least one reference signal is one of a synchronization signal (SS) block or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS).

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the random access preamble corresponds to the selected reference signal.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the downlink control channel is identified by a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).

13. A base station for receiving a beam failure recovery request, the base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor coupled with the transceiver and configured to:

transmit, to a terminal, configuration information including information on at least one reference signal to be used for identifying at least one candidate beam for beam failure recovery and information on a search space for a beam failure recovery response,

receive, from the terminal, a random access preamble for a beam failure recovery request, based on a resource corresponding to a reference signal selected by the terminal of which a reference signal received power (RSRP) is greater than a predetermined threshold from among the at least one reference signal, and

transmit the beam failure recovery response on a downlink control channel based on the search space identified by the information on the search space for the beam failure recovery response,

wherein the resource is identified, by the terminal, based on an association between the at least one reference signal and at least one beam failure recovery request resource.

14. The base station of claim 13 , wherein each of the at least one reference signal is one of a synchronization signal (SS) block or a channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS).

15. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the random access preamble corresponds to the reference signal selected by the terminal.

16. The base station of claim 13 , wherein the downlink control channel is identified by a cell radio network temporary identifier (C-RNTI).
