Abstract

A method by which a terminal performs a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure in a wireless communication system, according to one embodiment of the present specification, comprises the steps of: receiving setting information related to a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH); transmitting the PUCCH on the basis of the setting information, the PUCCH being related to BFR of at least one secondary cell (SCell); and transmitting a message comprising information related to the BFR. The message comprising the information related to the BFR is related to a beam failure detected before a specific time point.

Claims (30)

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

receiving configuration information that includes a set of Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources for a scheduling request (SR);

based on a beam failure recovery (BFR) for a first Secondary Cell (SCell) being triggered, transmitting a PUCCH based on the PUCCH resources for the SR used for requesting Uplink-Shared Channel (UL-SCH) resources; and

based on the UL-SCH resources being available, transmitting a BFR medium access control control element (MAC CE) that includes information indicating a beam failure detection for one or more SCells,

wherein the BFR MAC CE is generated based on a multiplexing and assembly procedure related to a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU), and

wherein the one or more SCells include i) the first SCell and ii) at least one second SCell for which at least one BFR is triggered before the multiplexing and assembly procedure related to the MAC PDU.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the BFR MAC CE includes information related to one or more Reference Signals (RSs) identifying one or more candidate beams.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a beam failure is detected based on a value of a beam failure instance (BFI) counter being greater than or equal to a beam failure instance Max count.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the BFI counter is set for each serving cell, and

wherein, based on i) a value of the BFI counter for a serving cell being greater than or equal to the beam failure instance Max count and ii) the serving cell being a SCell;

a BFR for the SCell is triggered.

5. A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

one or more transceivers;

one or more processors controlling the one or more transceivers; and

one or more memories operably connectable to the one or more processors, and storing instructions, based on being executed by the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving configuration information that includes a set of Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources for a scheduling request (SR);

based on a beam failure recovery (BFR) for a first Secondary Cell (SCell) being triggered, transmitting a PUCCH based on the PUCCH resources for the SR used for requesting Uplink-Shared Channel (UL-SCH) resources; and

based on the UL-SCH resources being available, transmitting a BFR medium access control control element (MAC CE) that includes information indicating a beam failure detection for one or more SCells,

wherein the BFR MAC CE is generated based on a multiplexing and assembly procedure related to a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU), and

wherein the one or more SCells include i) the first SCell and ii) at least one second SCell for which at least one BFR is triggered before the multiplexing and assembly procedure related to the MAC PDU.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the BFR MAC CE includes information related to one or more Reference Signals (RSs) identifying one or more candidate beams.

7. A base station configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

one or more transceivers;

one or more processors controlling the one or more transceivers; and

one or more memories operably connectable to the one or more processors, and storing instructions, based on being executed by the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

transmitting configuration information that includes a set of Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resources for a scheduling request (SR);

based on a beam failure recovery (BFR) for a first Secondary Cell (SCell) being triggered, receiving a PUCCH based on the PUCCH resources for the SR used for requesting Uplink-Shared Channel (UL-SCH) resources; and

based on the UL-SCH resources being available, receiving a BFR medium access control control element (MAC CE) that includes information indicating a beam failure detection for one or more SCells,

wherein the BFR MAC CE is generated based on a multiplexing and assembly procedure related to a MAC Protocol Data Unit (PDU), and

wherein the one or more SCells include i) the first SCell and ii) at least one second SCell for which at least one BFR is triggered before the multiplexing and assembly procedure related to the MAC PDU.
