[0043] The beam failure recovery method provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through some embodiments and application scenarios.
[0044] Figure 2 The diagram shown is a flowchart of a beam failure recovery method provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the beam failure recovery method provided in this embodiment includes:
[0045] Step 201: The terminal measures at least two sets of Beam Failure Detection Reference Signals (BFD RS) configured on the network-side device and obtains the measurement results.
[0046] The terminal measures at least two sets of Beam Failure Detection Reference Signals (BFD RS). The network-side device can configure the BFD RS sets explicitly or implicitly. For example, in the explicit indication method, a new domain indicator control resource set pool index (i.e., CORESETPoolindex) or control resource group identifier (CORESETGroupID) is added to the BFD RS set. In the implicit indication method, the association between the BFD RS and CORESETPoolindex or CORESETGroupID is obtained based on the implicit configuration of the BFD RS.
[0047] The at least two BFD RS sets include at least one of the following:
[0048] A set of BFD RSs corresponding to one or more transmit / receive points (TRPs) in the same cell;
[0049] A set of BFD RS corresponding to one or more transmit / receive points (TRPs) in different cells;
[0050] A BFD RS set corresponding to one or more cells.
[0051] In other words, at least one of the at least two BFD RS sets may correspond to one or more TRPs, and / or at least one of the at least two BFD RS sets may correspond to some TRPs in the primary cell, or to some TRPs in the secondary cell, or to the primary cell, or to the secondary cell, or to multiple cells.
[0052] The TRP corresponding to the aforementioned BFD RS set can be indicated by the control resource set pool index (i.e., CORESETPoolindex) and / or the control resource group identifier (CORESETGroupID). Furthermore, the TRP can also be indicated by the BFD RS set identifier (i.e., BFD RS set ID) or the identifier of the NBI RS set.
[0053] Step 202: If, based on the measurement results, it is determined that at least two BFD RS sets meet the beam failure condition, the terminal sends a target beam failure recovery request (BFRQ).
[0054] The terminal measures each of the at least two BFD RS sets and determines whether a beam failure event has occurred in each BFD RS set based on the measurement results. A beam failure condition can be that one or more of the at least two BFD RS sets have experienced beam failure. If the at least two BFD RS sets meet the beam failure condition, the terminal sends a target BFRQ to the network-side device.
[0055] Step 203: The terminal receives the Beam Failure Recovery Response (BFRR) corresponding to the target BFRQ.
[0056] Step 204: The terminal resets the Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) status of some or all channels according to the target beam information carried by the target BFRQ, and / or resets the configuration parameters of uplink power control according to the target beam information.
[0057] In this embodiment, the terminal measures at least two sets of Beam Failure Detection Reference Signals (BFD RS) configured by the network-side device to obtain measurement results. If, based on the measurement results, the at least two sets of BFD RS satisfy the beam failure condition, the terminal sends a target BFRQ. The terminal receives the BFRR corresponding to the target BFRQ. The terminal resets the TCI state of some or all channels based on the target beam information carried by the target BFRQ, and / or resets the uplink power control configuration parameters based on the target beam information. When the terminal detects that the at least two sets of BFD RS satisfy the beam failure condition, it sends the target BFRQ to the network-side device, enabling the network-side device and the terminal to quickly restore the interrupted beam link and improve the reliability of data transmission.
[0058] It should be noted that when available uplink resources exist, the target BFRQ includes a BFR MAC CE, and the BFR MAC CE includes beam failure recovery information for the BFD RS set where beam failure occurred; when the terminal currently has no available uplink grant and the network-side device has configured PUCCH resources for transmission scheduling requests, the target BFRQ includes a scheduling request and a BFR MAC CE; when the terminal currently has no available uplink grant and the network-side device has not configured PUCCH resources for transmission scheduling requests, the target BFRQ includes a RACH sequence, a scheduling request, and a BFR MAC CE.
[0059] The following describes the beam failure recovery methods provided in this application under different circumstances.
[0060] The first scenario: The at least two BFD RS sets include a first BFD RS set and a second BFD RS set, and the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set correspond to different TRPs of the first cell.
[0061] In the first case, there is a beam failure in one BFD RS set, that is, the beam failure condition is that a beam failure occurs in either the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set.
[0062] Accordingly, the terminal sending a Target Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ) includes any one of the following:
[0063] Send the target BFRQ on the nearest available uplink grant;
[0064] If only one Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) is configured in the cell group where the first cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent through this PUCCH.
[0065] In the case where multiple PUCCHs for sending beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the first cell is located, the target BFRQ is sent through the PUCCH in the first cell associated with the set of failed or non-failed BFD RSs;
[0066] When the network-side device is configured with non-contention-based random access (CFRA), the target BFRQ is sent via CFRA;
[0067] If the network-side equipment is not configured with non-contention-based random access (CFRA), the target BFRQ is sent via contention-based random access (CBRA).
[0068] Specifically, if a beam failure occurs in either the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set, and the network-side equipment is configured with an NBI RS set, the UE will obtain a new beam by measuring the NBI RS.
[0069] The terminal sending the target BFRQ on the most recent available uplink (UL) grant can be understood as the terminal sending a BFR media access control (MAC) control element (CE) on the most recent available UL grant, which includes beam failure recovery (BFR) information corresponding to the failed BFD RS set.
[0070] In the first case, there are two BFD RS sets that have experienced beam failure, i.e., the beam failure condition includes the first BFD RS set experiencing beam failure, and the terminal is in the process of requesting beam failure recovery for the second BFD RS set experiencing beam failure.
[0071] Accordingly, the first cell is the primary cell, and the target BFRQ includes beam failure recovery information of the first BFD RS set;
[0072] Accordingly, the terminal sending a Target Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ) includes any one of the following:
[0073] Send the target BFRQ on the nearest available uplink grant;
[0074] When only one Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) is configured in the cell group where the first cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent through this PUCCH.
[0075] In the case where multiple PUCCHs for sending beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the first cell is located, the target BFRQ is sent through the nearest PUCCH among the multiple PUCCHs;
[0076] In the case where multiple PUCCHs for transmitting beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group to which the first cell belongs, the target BFRQ is transmitted through the PUCCH associated with the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set.
[0077] Multiple PUCCHs for sending beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the first cell is located. When the terminal receives a beam failure recovery response (BFRR) corresponding to the second BFD RS set, the target BFRQ is sent through the nearest PUCCH associated with the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set.
[0078] When the terminal receives the BFRR corresponding to the second BFD RS set, the target BFRQ is sent on the uplink grant scheduled by the BFRR corresponding to the second BFD RS set.
[0079] When the network-side device is configured with a CFRA associated with the first BFD RS set, the target BFRQ is sent via the CFRA;
[0080] If the network-side device is not configured with a CFRA associated with the first BFD RS set, the target BFRQ is sent via CBRA.
[0081] Specifically, if a beam failure is determined to have occurred in the first BFD RS set, and at least one second BFD RS set in the same cell also experiences a beam failure during the BFRQ process, the beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) procedure can be one of the following:
[0082] The signal is generated at the moment when the BFD RS set beam failure is announced, or at the last symbol of the last NBI RS resource in the NBI RS set associated with the BFD RS set that has experienced beam failure, or at the first symbol of the available UL grant, and ends at the last symbol of the HARQ-ACK corresponding to the UL grant received by the UE, or at the first or last symbol of the BFRR, or after the completion of PDCCH decoding.
[0083] If CFRA resources are configured, the announcement of BFD RS set beam failure can be made at the moment when the beam failure occurs, or at the last symbol of the last NBI RS resource in the NBI RS set associated with the BFDRS set that has experienced beam failure, or starting from the first symbol of CFRA and ending when the UE receives the first or last symbol of BFRR, or completes PDCCH decoding and verification, or when the Kth CFRA transmission is completed, where K transmissions are the maximum allowed number of CFRA transmissions configured by the network-side equipment.
[0084] If no CFRA resource is configured, the time to announce the beam failure of the BFD RS set, or the last symbol of the last NBI RS resource in the NBI RS set associated with the BFDRS set that has experienced beam failure, or the start of the first symbol of the CBRA, and the end when the UE receives the first or last symbol of the BFRR, or completes the PDCCH decoding and verification, or completes the Msg3 transmission in the Pth CBRA, wherein the Pth transmission is the maximum number of CBRA transmissions allowed configured by the network-side equipment;
[0085] The signal transmission begins at the moment when the BFD RS set beam failure is announced, or at the last symbol of the last NBI RS resource in the NBI RS set associated with the BFD RS set where beam failure occurred, or at the first symbol of the PUCCH resource closest to the moment of beam failure among all PUCCH resources configured by the network-side device, and ends when the UE receives the first or last symbol of the BFRR, or completes PDCCH decoding and verification, or completes the Qth SR transmission. The Qth transmission is the maximum number of allowed scheduling request transmissions configured by the network-side device.
[0086] When the above situation occurs in the primary cell, if the network-side equipment is configured with an NBI RS set, the UE will measure the NBI RS to obtain a new beam. The UE can then send the target BFRQ using any of the following methods:
[0087] The UE may continue with the BFRQ procedure corresponding to the second BFD RS set, and perform the BFRQ procedure corresponding to the first BFD RS set in any of the following ways:
[0088] Send the first BFR MAC CE on the most recently available UL grant;
[0089] If only one PUCCH resource is configured in the cell group where the first cell is located for sending scheduling requests after beam failure recovery, the UE will use this PUCCH resource to send scheduling requests.
[0090] If multiple PUCCH resources for beam failure recovery and scheduling request transmission are configured in the cell group where the first cell is located, any of the following methods can be adopted:
[0091] Send a scheduling request on the nearest PUCCH resource; send a scheduling request on the PUCCH resource associated with the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set; after the UE receives the BFRR corresponding to the second BFD RS set, send a scheduling request on the nearest PUCCH resource associated with the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set.
[0092] After the UE receives the BFRR corresponding to the second BFD RS set, it sends the first BFR MAC CE on the UL grant scheduled by the BFRR.
[0093] If the network-side device is configured with a CFRA associated with the first BFD RS set, and the terminal finds a new beam corresponding to the first BFD RS set, then the BFRQ information corresponding to the first BFD RS set is sent through the CFRA. Otherwise, if the network-side device is configured with a CFRA associated with the first BFD RS set, and the terminal finds a new beam corresponding to the first BFD RS set, then the BFRQ information is sent through the CFRA.
[0094] The first BFR MAC CE mentioned above includes at least one of the following: the identifier of the first BFR RS set and the new beam information corresponding to the first BFD RS set.
[0095] The aforementioned CBRA can be: a CBRA configured by the network-side equipment and associated with the first BFD RS set; or a CBRA configured by the network-side equipment and associated with the primary cell. When the target BFRQ is transmitted using the CBRA, if the new beam carried by the target BFRQ is associated with the second BFD RS set, the UE falls back to STRP.
[0096] In a primary cell, where the beam failure condition includes a beam failure in the first BFD RS set and the terminal is in the beam failure recovery request process for a beam failure in the second BFD RS set, if the BFRQ process corresponding to the second BFD RS set only proceeds up to before the second BFR MAC CE is placed on the PUSCH for transmission, or if the second BFR MAC CE corresponding to the second BFD RS set has been transmitted on the PUSCH but not multiplexed with the UL-SCH, the UE can continue the BFRQ process corresponding to the second BFD RS set and begin the BFRQ process corresponding to the first BFD RS set, or the UE can interrupt the BFRQ process corresponding to the second BFD RS set and use CBRA to transmit a target BFRQ, the target BFRQ also including beam failure recovery information for the second BFD RS set. The second BFR MAC CE contains at least one of the following: the identifier of the second BFD RS set and the new beam information corresponding to the second BFD RS set.
[0097] In the first case, there are two BFD RS sets that experience beam failure, i.e., the beam failure condition includes the first BFD RS set experiencing beam failure, and the terminal is in the process of requesting beam failure recovery for the second BFD RS set experiencing beam failure.
[0098] Correspondingly, the first cell is a secondary cell, and the target BFRQ includes beam failure recovery information of the first BFD RS set;
[0099] Accordingly, the terminal sending a Target Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ) includes any one of the following:
[0100] Send the target BFRQ on the nearest available uplink grant;
[0101] In the case where multiple PUCCHs for sending beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the first cell is located, the target BFRQ is sent through the nearest PUCCH associated with the first BFD RS set;
[0102] In the case where multiple PUCCHs for transmitting beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the first cell is located, the target BFRQ is transmitted through the PUCCH associated with the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set;
[0103] Multiple PUCCHs for sending beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the first cell is located. When the terminal receives the BFRR corresponding to the second BFD RS set, the target BFRQ is sent through the nearest PUCCH associated with the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set.
[0104] When the terminal receives the BFRR corresponding to the second BFD RS set, the target BFRQ is sent on the uplink grant scheduled by the BFRR corresponding to the second BFD RS set.
[0105] When the first cell is the secondary cell, and the beam failure conditions include beam failure of the first BFD RS set and the terminal is in the beam failure recovery request process of the second BFD RS set, if the first BFD RS set has beam failed and the BFRQ corresponding to the second BFD RS set has not been sent on the PUSCH, or if the first BFD RS set has beam failed, the BFRQ corresponding to the second BFD RS set has been sent on the PUSCH, and the PUSCH is not multiplexed with the uplink shared transport channel UL-SCH, then the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the second BFD RS set will continue or be interrupted, and the target BFRQ will be sent by at least one of the following:
[0106] Send the target BFRQ on the nearest available uplink grant;
[0107] If a PUCCH for sending beam failure recovery requests is configured in the cell group where the first cell is located, the target BFRQ is sent through the PUCCH.
[0108] In the case where multiple PUCCHs for sending beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the first cell is located, the target BFRQ is sent by selecting one PUCCH from the multiple PUCCHs according to the fourth preset rule;
[0109] The target BFRQ is transmitted via CFRA or CBRA in the primary cell of the cell group to which the first cell is located.
[0110] In the first scenario, and where two BFD RS sets experience beam failure (i.e., the beam failure condition includes simultaneous beam failure of both the first and second BFD RS sets), and the first cell is the primary cell, the terminal transmits the target BFRQ via CBRA.
[0111] In the first scenario, and where two BFD RS sets experience beam failure (i.e., the beam failure condition includes simultaneous beam failure of both the first and second BFD RS sets), if the first cell is a secondary cell, the terminal can transmit the target BFRQ using at least one of the following methods:
[0112] Send the target BFRQ on the nearest available uplink grant;
[0113] In the case where multiple PUCCHs are configured in the cell group where the first cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent from one of the multiple PUCCHs according to the fifth preset rule.
[0114] In the above, the simultaneous beam failure of the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set can be understood as follows: when the first BFD RS set experiences beam failure, the second BFD RS set has already experienced beam failure but has not yet entered the BFRQ process, or the network-side device predefines a time window, and the UE considers both BFD RS sets to have failed within this time window.
[0115] The target BFRQ includes at least one of the following: the identifier of the first BFR RS set, the identifier of the second BFD RS set, the new beam information corresponding to the first BFD RS set, and the new beam information corresponding to the second BFD RS set.
[0116] When the beam failure condition includes a beam failure in the first BFD RS set and the terminal is in the beam failure recovery request process for a beam failure in the second BFD RS set, the target BFRQ includes at least one of the following: the identifier of the first BFD RS set, the identifier of the second BFD RS set, the new beam information corresponding to the first BFD RS set, and the new beam information corresponding to the second BFD RS set. The BFD RS set identifier can be indicated by CORESETPoolindex or CORESETGroupID.
[0117] After receiving the BFRR, the terminal can reset the TCI state of the control resource set (CORESET) associated with the first BFD RS set, and / or the TCI state of the CORESET associated with the second BFD RS set, based on the target beam information. The target beam information is the new beam information carried in the target BFRQ.
[0118] In the second scenario, the at least two BFD RS sets include a first BFD RS set, a second BFD RS set, and a third BFD RS set. The first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set correspond to different TRPs of the first cell, and the third BFD RS set corresponds to the first cell.
[0119] In the second case, the beam failure condition includes at least one of the following:
[0120] Both the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set experienced beam failure within the first preset time window;
[0121] The third BFD RS set experienced beam failure;
[0122] All BFD RS sets configured in the first cell experienced beam failure within the second preset time window.
[0123] If the network-side device is configured with a first NBI RS set and a second NBI RS set to obtain new beams for different TRPs of the first cell, and a third NBI RS set to obtain new beams for the first cell, then the UE will measure all RSs in all sets to find new beams; wherein, the first NBI RS set corresponds to the first BFD RS set, the second NBI RS set corresponds to the second BFD RS set, and the third NBI RS set corresponds to the third BFD RS set;
[0124] The first NBI RS set and the second NBI RS set correspond to different TRPs; the third NBI RS set can be configured with RRC, or can be directly composed of the first NBI RS set and the second NBI RS set.
[0125] In the second scenario, where the first cell is the primary cell, if the beam failure condition is that both the first and second BFD RS sets fail within a first preset time window, and / or the third BFD RS set experiences beam failure, the terminal sends the target BFRQ in at least one of the following ways:
[0126] If the network-side device is configured with CFRA resources, then CFRA is used to send BFRQ information;
[0127] If the network is not configured with CFRA resources, BFRQ information is sent via CBRA;
[0128] In this case, the target BFRQ includes a new beam learned from the third NBI RS set, but does not contain the identifier of the failed BFD RS set.
[0129] After receiving the BFRR, the terminal will reset the TCI state of at least all CORESETs according to the information of the new beam in the target BFRQ, or at least reset the TCI state of the CORESET corresponding to the new beam.
[0130] In the second case, the beam failure condition includes the beam failure of the third BFD RS set, and the beam failure of the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set before the beam failure of the third BFD RS set.
[0131] The first cell is the primary cell, and the target BFRQ includes the beam failure recovery information of the third BFD RS set;
[0132] If, based on the measurements, it is determined that at least two BFD RS sets satisfy the beam failure condition, the terminal sends a Target Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ), including:
[0133] The beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set is interrupted, and the target BFRQ is sent via CFRA, CBRA, or available uplink grant, or PUCCH corresponding to the third BFD RS set. The target BFRQ includes new beam information obtained from the third NBI RS set, but does not include the identifier of the failed BFD RS set. Further, the TCI status of the corresponding CORESET is reset according to the new beam information (i.e., target beam information) obtained from the third NBI RS set, or the TCI status of all CORESETs corresponding to the first cell is reset.
[0134] or,
[0135] In the event of a conflict between the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the third BFD RS set, for example, if the BFRQ process corresponding to the first BFD RS set is later than the BFRQ process corresponding to the second BFD RS set, and the BFRQ process corresponding to the first BFD RS set conflicts with the BFRQ process corresponding to the third BFD RS set, the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set is interrupted, and the BFRQ process corresponding to the second BFD RS set continues. The terminal does not initiate scheduling requests or random access, and transmits the target BFRQ on the uplink grant for transmitting the BFRQ corresponding to the second BFD RS set. The target BFRQ also includes beam failure recovery information of the second BFD RS set.
[0136] Alternatively, if the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set conflicts with the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the third BFD RS set, for example, if the BFRQ process corresponding to the first BFD RS set is later than the BFRQ process corresponding to the second BFD RS set, and the BFRQ process corresponding to the first BFD RS set conflicts with the BFRQ process corresponding to the third BFD RS set, the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set is interrupted, and the BFRQ process corresponding to the second BFD RS set continues. The target BFRQ is sent via CFRA, CBRA, or an available uplink grant, or via the PUCCH corresponding to the third BFD RS set.
[0137] or,
[0138] Continue the BFRQ process corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set respectively, and start the BFRQ process corresponding to the third BFD RS set. Transmit the target BFRQ on the uplink grant for transmitting the BFRQ corresponding to the second BFD RS set. The target BFRQ also includes beam failure recovery information of the first BFD RS set and / or beam failure recovery information of the second BFD RS set. That is, the BFR MAC CE corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set respectively are transmitted in the same ULgrant as the BFR MAC CE corresponding to the third BFD RS set.
[0139] or,
[0140] Continue the BFRQ process corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set respectively, and start the BFRQ process corresponding to the third BFD RS set. Send the BFRQ corresponding to the first BFD RS set through CFRA, CBRA, or available uplink grant, or PUCCH corresponding to the first BFD RS set, and transmit the target BFRQ on the uplink grant for transmitting the BFRQ corresponding to the second BFD RS set. The target BFRQ may also include beam failure recovery information of the second BFD RS set. That is, the BFRQ information (i.e., beam failure recovery information) corresponding to the first BFD RS set can be sent through UL grant or PUCCH resources or CFRA or CBRA, and the BFR MAC CE corresponding to the second BFD RS set and the BFR MAC CE corresponding to the third BFD RS set are transmitted in the same UL grant.
[0141] Alternatively, the BFRQ corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the BFRQ corresponding to the second BFD RS set can be sent via CFRA, CBRA, or available uplink grant, or via the PUCCH corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set, respectively, and the target BFRQ can be sent via CFRA, CBRA, or available uplink grant, or via the PUCCH corresponding to the third BFD RS set. That is, the BFRQ information corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set can be sent via their corresponding UL grant or PUCCH resources or CFRA (if configured) or CBRA, respectively, and the BFRQ information corresponding to the third BFD RS set can be transmitted via CFRA (if configured) or CBRA.
[0142] In the second case, the beam failure condition includes the beam failure of the third BFD RS set, and the beam failure of the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set before the beam failure of the third BFD RS set.
[0143] The first cell is the primary cell, and the target BFRQ includes the beam failure recovery information of the third BFD RS set;
[0144] The terminal resets the Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) status of some or all channels based on the target beam information carried by the target BFRQ, and / or resets the configuration parameters of uplink power control based on the target beam information, including:
[0145] If the terminal interrupts the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set respectively, the TCI state of the corresponding CORESET is reset according to the target beam information, or the TCI state of all CORESETs corresponding to the first cell is reset.
[0146] or,
[0147] If the terminal interrupts the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set, continues to execute the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the second BFD RS set, and starts the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the third BFD RS set, if the first new beam information carried by the BFRQ associated with the second BFD RS set corresponds to the same TRP as the target beam information, then the TCI status of the corresponding CORESET or the TCI status of all CORESETs corresponding to the first cell is reset according to the target beam information.
[0148] or,
[0149] If the terminal interrupts the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set, continues to execute the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the second BFD RS set, and starts the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the third BFD RS set, if the first new beam information carried by the BFRQ associated with the second BFD RS set corresponds to a different TRP as the target beam information, then the TCI state of the corresponding CORESET is reset according to the target beam information, and the TCI state of the corresponding CORESET is reset according to the first new beam information.
[0150] Alternatively, if the terminal continues to execute the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set respectively, and starts the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the third BFD RS set, the TCI state of the CORESET corresponding to the new beam information of each of the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set is reset according to the new beam information carried by the BFRQ associated with each of the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set, and the TCI state of the corresponding CORESET is reset according to the target beam information;
[0151] or,
[0152] When the terminal continues to execute the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set respectively, and starts the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the third BFD RS set, the TCI status of the corresponding CORESET is reset according to the target beam information, or the TCI status of all CORESETs corresponding to the first cell is reset.
[0153] or,
[0154] When the terminal continues to execute the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set respectively, and starts the beam failure recovery request process corresponding to the third BFD RS set, the second new beam information and the third new beam information are selected from the candidate new beam information according to the third preset rule to reset the TCI state of their respective CORESETs, or the TCI state of all CORESETs corresponding to the first cell is reset. The second new beam information and the third new beam information are associated with different BFD RS sets. The third preset rule can be based on the principle of closest time, resetting the TCI state of the corresponding CORESET with the latest new beam (i.e., the NBI RS resource corresponding to the new beam is closest to the BFRQ information transmission); or based on the principle of best quality, resetting the TCI state of the corresponding CORESET with the new beam with the highest RS measurement value.
[0155] The candidate new beam information includes the new beam information carried by the BFRQ associated with the first BFD RS set, the new beam information carried by the BFRQ associated with the second BFD RS set, and the target beam information.
[0156] In the second case, the beam failure condition includes the beam failure of the third BFD RS set, and the beam failure of the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set before the beam failure of the third BFD RS set.
[0157] Correspondingly, the first cell is a secondary cell, and the target BFRQ includes the beam failure recovery information of the third BFD RS set;
[0158] Accordingly, the terminal sending a Target Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ) includes any one of the following:
[0159] Send the target BFRQ on the nearest available uplink grant;
[0160] If only one PUCCH is configured in the cell group where the first cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent through the PUCCH.
[0161] In the case where multiple PUCCHs are configured in the cell group to which the first cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent by selecting one PUCCH from the multiple PUCCHs according to the first preset rule.
[0162] In the third scenario, the at least two BFD RS sets include a first BFD RS set, a second BFD RS set, and a fourth BFD RS set. The first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set correspond to different TRPs of the first cell. The fourth BFD RS set is either the BFD RS set corresponding to the second cell or the BFD RS set corresponding to a TRP in the second cell. The second cell and the first cell are in the same cell group.
[0163] For example, the network-side equipment is configured with a first BFD RS set, a second BFD RS set, a third BFD RS set, a fourth BFD RS set, and a fifth BFD RS set. The first and second BFD RS sets correspond to different TRPs of the first cell, and the fourth BFD RS set can correspond to the second cell or its TRP. The fourth and fifth BFD RS sets can correspond to different TRPs of the same cell, or to different cells. The third BFD RS set can be configured selectively.
[0164] The terminal measures each of the at least two BFD RS sets. If the measurement results indicate that the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set has experienced beam failure, the terminal will handle the situation in accordance with the method for beam failure of the first BFD RS set or the BFD RS set described in the previous embodiment.
[0165] If, based on the measurement results, it is determined that the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set has failed to transmit a beam, and the fourth BFD RS set also experiences a beam failure, then the fourth BFD RS set corresponds to the second cell. The cell identifiers or physical cell identifiers corresponding to the first cell and the second cell may be the same or different.
[0166] If the network-side device is configured with an NBI RS set associated with the BFD RS set, the UE measures each NBI RS set to find the corresponding new beam; generates a third BFR MAC CE based on the failure information and new beam information of the first or second BFD RS set, and generates a fourth BFR MAC CE based on the failure information and new beam information of the fourth BFD RS set.
[0167] The UE may transmit the target BFRQ in any of the following ways:
[0168] Send the third BFR MAC CE and the fourth BFR MAC CE on the most recent available UL grant, that is, send the BFRQ corresponding to the target BFD RS set and the target BFRQ on the most recent available uplink grant, wherein the target BFD RS set is the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set where beam failure occurred.
[0169] If only one PUCCH is configured in the cell group where the second cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent through this PUCCH;
[0170] In the case where multiple PUCCHs for sending beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the second cell is located, the target BFRQ is sent by selecting one PUCCH from the multiple PUCCHs according to the second preset rule;
[0171] When the network-side device is configured with non-contention-based random access (CFRA), the target BFRQ is sent via CFRA;
[0172] If the network-side equipment is not configured with non-contention-based random access (CFRA), the target BFRQ is sent via CBRA.
[0173] If the network-side device is configured with CBRA resources associated with a BFD RS set, then BFRQ information is sent using CBRA resources associated with either failed or non-failed BFD RS sets in the primary cell; otherwise, if a non-failed BFD RS set is associated with new beam information carried by the CBRA resources, then STRP is returned.
[0174] In the above, the second preset rule includes any one of the following:
[0175] Select the most recent PUCCH from multiple PUCCHs;
[0176] Select a PUCCH from among the multiple PUCCHs that is associated with a BFD RS set that has failed or not failed from the at least two BFD RS sets;
[0177] Select the PUCCH associated with the fourth BFD RS set from among the multiple PUCCHs;
[0178] Select the PUCCH corresponding to the primary cell in the cell group where the second cell is located from multiple PUCCHs.
[0179] If the target BFRQ contains new beam information, after the UE receives the BFRR, it will reset at least the TCI state of the CORESET associated with the BFD RS set where the beam failure occurred, according to the new beam information of the target BFRQ.
[0180] The terminal measures each of the at least two BFD RS sets. If, based on the measurement results, it is determined that the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set has failed to transmit a beam, and the fourth BFD RS set has also failed to transmit a beam, the fourth BFD RS set corresponds to a TRP in the second cell. The second cell includes at least two TRPs. The cell identifiers or physical cell identifiers corresponding to the first cell and the second cell may be the same or different.
[0181] If the network-side device is configured with an NBI RS set associated with the BFD RS set, the UE measures each NBI RS set to find the corresponding new beam.
[0182] The UE may transmit the target BFRQ in any of the following ways:
[0183] Send the target BFRQ on the nearest available uplink grant;
[0184] If only one PUCCH is configured in the cell group where the second cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent through this PUCCH;
[0185] When multiple PUCCHs for sending beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the second cell is located, the target BFRQ is sent from one PUCCH or at least two PUCCHs. When the network-side equipment is configured with multiple PUCCH resources on the primary cell and the first cell is the primary cell, BFRQ is performed in the following two cases:
[0186] If the set of failed BFD RSs in the first cell corresponds to the same TRP as the set of failed BFD RSs in the second cell, then a scheduling request is sent on the PUCCH resource associated with the set of failed or non-failed BFD RSs.
[0187] If the failed BFD RSs in the first cell and the failed BFD RSs in the second cell correspond to different TRPs, the UE will select one or more PUCCH resources to send a scheduling request according to certain preset rules, such as the PUCCH resource closest to the time when the beam failure was announced, or the RS with the highest measurement value.
[0188] Linked PUCCH resources.
[0189] If CFRA resources are configured, BFRQ information is sent via CFRA; otherwise, BFRQ information is sent via CBRA. Specifically, if the network-side device is configured with CBRA resources associated with a BFD RS set, BFRQ information is sent using CBRA resources associated with a failed or non-failed BFD RS set in the primary cell; otherwise, if a non-failed BFD RS set is associated with new beam information carried by CBRA resources, STRP is returned.
[0190] In other words, in the third case described above, the beam failure condition includes beam failure occurring in the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set, and beam failure occurring in the fourth BFD RS set.
[0191] The fourth BFD RS set is the BFD RS set corresponding to the TRP of the second cell. The second cell includes at least two TRPs. The target BFRQ includes the beam failure recovery information of the fourth BFD RS set and the beam failure recovery information of the target BFD RS set.
[0192] The target BFD RS set is either the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set where beam failure has occurred.
[0193] The terminal sending a Target Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ) includes any one of the following:
[0194] Send the target BFRQ on the nearest available uplink grant;
[0195] If only one PUCCH is configured in the cell group where the second cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent through this PUCCH;
[0196] In the case where multiple PUCCHs are configured in the cell group where the second cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent from one PUCCH or at least two PUCCHs selected from the multiple PUCCHs.
[0197] In the case where multiple PUCCHs for sending beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the second cell is located, the target BFRQ is sent by selecting one or at least two target PUCCHs from the multiple PUCCHs. The target PUCCHs include the PUCCHs that correspond to the primary cell in the cell group where the second cell is located.
[0198] When the network-side device is configured with non-contention-based random access (CFRA), the target BFRQ is sent via CFRA;
[0199] If the network-side equipment is not configured with non-contention-based random access (CFRA), the target BFRQ is sent via CBRA.
[0200] In the third case, the beam failure condition includes beam failure occurring in the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set, and beam failure occurring in the fourth BFD RS set.
[0201] The target BFRQ includes beam failure recovery information of the fourth BFD RS set and beam failure recovery information of the target BFD RS set, wherein the target BFD RS set is the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set where beam failure occurred.
[0202] The terminal resets the Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) status of some or all channels based on the target beam information carried by the target BFRQ, and / or resets the configuration parameters of uplink power control based on the target beam information, including:
[0203] The TCI state of the CORESET associated with the BFD RS set that has experienced beam failure is reset based on the target beam information carried by the target BFRQ.
[0204] The above embodiments provide a beam recovery method in multi-TRP scenarios and / or CA scenarios, in cases where beam failure occurs in some BFD RS sets, or all BFD RS sets, or at least two BFD RS sets fail simultaneously or not simultaneously. This method enables the network and UE to quickly restore the interrupted beam link and improve the reliability of data transmission.
[0205] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this application provides a beam failure recovery method, including:
[0206] Step 301: The network-side device configures at least two Beam Failure Detection Reference Signal (BFD RS) sets for the terminal.
[0207] Network-side devices can configure BFD RS sets explicitly or implicitly. For example, in the explicit indication method, a new domain indicator control resource set pool index (i.e., CORESETPoolindex) or control resource group identifier (CORESETGroupID) is added to the BFD RS set; in the implicit indication method, the association relationship between BFD RS and CORESETPoolindex or CORESETGroupID is obtained according to the implicit configuration of BFD RS.
[0208] The at least two BFD RS sets include at least one of the following:
[0209] A set of BFD RSs corresponding to one or more transmit / receive points (TRPs) in the same cell;
[0210] A set of BFD RS corresponding to one or more transmit / receive points (TRPs) in different cells;
[0211] A BFD RS set corresponding to one or more cells.
[0212] In other words, at least one of the at least two BFD RS sets may correspond to one or more TRPs, and / or at least one of the at least two BFD RS sets may correspond to some TRPs in the primary cell, or to some TRPs in the secondary cell, or to the primary cell, or to the secondary cell, or to multiple cells.
[0213] The TRP corresponding to the aforementioned BFD RS set can be indicated by the control resource set pool index (i.e., CORESETPoolindex) and / or the control resource group identifier (CORESETGroupID). Furthermore, the TRP can also be indicated by the BFD RS set identifier (i.e., BFD RS set ID) or the identifier of the NBI RS set.
[0214] Step 302: The network-side device receives the Target Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ).
[0215] Under different circumstances, the terminal sends the target BFRQ to the network-side device through different transmission paths. Correspondingly, the network-side device receives the target BFRQ through the path sent by the terminal. For example, if the terminal sends the target BFRQ on the most recent available uplink grant, the network-side device receives the target BFRQ on the available uplink grant where the terminal sent it. If the terminal sends the target BFRQ through only one PUCCH configured in the cell group where the first cell is located, the network-side device receives the target BFRQ on that PUCCH.
[0216] Step 303: The network-side device sends a beam failure recovery response (BFRR) corresponding to the target BFRQ, so that the terminal resets the Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) status of some or all channels according to the target beam information carried by the target BFRQ, and / or resets the configuration parameters of uplink power control according to the target beam information.
[0217] In this embodiment, the network-side device configures at least two sets of Beam Failure Detection Reference Signals (BFD RS) for the terminal; receives a Target Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ); and sends a Beam Failure Recovery Response (BFRR) corresponding to the target BFRQ. This enables the terminal to reset the Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) status of some or all channels based on the target beam information carried by the target BFRQ, and / or reset the uplink power control configuration parameters based on the target beam information. This process allows the network-side device and the terminal to quickly restore interrupted beam links, improving the reliability of data transmission.
[0218] Furthermore, the at least two BFD RS sets include at least one of the following:
[0219] A set of BFD RSs corresponding to one or more transmit / receive points (TRPs) in the same cell;
[0220] A set of BFD RS corresponding to one or more transmit / receive points (TRPs) in different cells;
[0221] A BFD RS set corresponding to one or more cells.
[0222] Furthermore, the at least two BFD RS sets include a first BFD RS set and a second BFD RS set, wherein the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set correspond to different TRPs of the first cell.
[0223] Furthermore, the at least two BFD RS sets also include a third BFD RS set corresponding to the first cell.
[0224] Furthermore, the at least two BFD RS sets also include a fourth BFD RS set, which is either the BFD RS set corresponding to the second cell or the BFD RS set corresponding to the TRP in the second cell.
[0225] The second cell is in the same cell group as the first cell.
[0226] Furthermore, the TRP can be indicated in at least one of the following ways:
[0227] Control resource pool index;
[0228] Control resource group identifier.
[0229] It should be noted that the beam failure recovery method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by a beam failure recovery device, or by a control module within that device for executing the beam failure recovery method. This application embodiment uses the beam failure recovery device executing the beam failure recovery method as an example to illustrate the beam failure recovery device provided in this application embodiment.

[0231] The acquisition module is used to measure at least two sets of beam failure detection reference signals (BFD RS) configured on the network-side device and obtain the measurement results.
[0232] The transmitting module is configured to transmit a target beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) when it is determined, based on the measurement results, that the at least two BFD RS sets meet the beam failure condition.
[0233] The receiving module is used to receive the beam failure recovery response (BFRR) corresponding to the target BFRQ.
[0234] The reset module is used to reset the Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) status of some or all channels according to the target beam information carried by the target BFRQ, and / or to reset the configuration parameters of uplink power control according to the target beam information.

[0239] Furthermore, the TRP can be indicated in at least one of the following ways:
[0240] Control resource pool index;
[0241] Control resource group identifier.
[0242] Furthermore, the at least two BFD RS sets include a first BFD RS set and a second BFD RS set, wherein the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set correspond to different TRPs of the first cell.
[0243] Furthermore, the at least two BFD RS sets include a first BFD RS set and a second BFD RS set, the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set correspond to different TRPs of the first cell, and the beam failure condition is that a beam failure occurs in the first BFD RS set or the second BFD RS set.
[0244] The target beam failure recovery request (BFRQ) includes any one of the following:
[0245] Send the target BFRQ on the nearest available uplink grant;
[0246] When only one Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) is configured in the cell group where the first cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent through this PUCCH.
[0247] When multiple PUCCHs for sending beam failure recovery requests are configured in the cell group where the first cell is located, the target BFRQ is sent through the PUCCH associated with the set of failed or non-failed BFD RSs corresponding to the TRP of the first cell.
[0248] When the network-side device is configured with non-contention-based random access (CFRA), the target BFRQ is sent via CFRA;
[0249] If the network-side device is not configured with non-contention-based random access (CFRA), the target BFRQ is sent via contention-based random access (CBRA).
[0250] Furthermore, the at least two BFD RS sets include a first BFD RS set and a second BFD RS set, the first BFD RS set and the second BFD RS set correspond to different TRPs of the first cell, and the beam failure condition includes a beam failure occurring in the first BFD RS set, and the terminal is in the beam failure recovery request process of the second BFD RS set.
[0251] The first cell is the primary cell, and the target BFRQ includes beam failure recovery information of the first BFD RS set;
[0252] The terminal sending a Target Beam Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ) includes any one of the following:
[0253] Send the target BFRQ on the nearest available uplink grant;
[0254] When only one Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) is configured in the cell group where the first cell is located for sending beam failure recovery requests, the target BFRQ is sent through this PUCCH.
