[0007] Multi-TRP and Multi-Panel Transmission - Increased versatility and robustness are achieved with Multi-TRP and and ideal and non-ideal backhaul networks using multi-panel transmission. It is recognized that this may be achieved through both internet and mobile networks. From a PHY perspective, the goal may be to make the TRP-UE link relatively independent. For example, the UE may receive the A of the PDSCH from TRP1 for one PUCCH transmission. / N is multiplexed, and A / N is divided for each TRP.

[0008] Ideal backhaul, such as point-to-point connections using optical fiber, is and the core network. Note that an ideal backhaul would have a latency of less than 2.5 microseconds and a latency of 10 Sometimes defined as Gbps throughput. xDSL, microwave and trunk Non-ideal backhaul networks can lead to significantly longer latency times in the network. This may result in:

[0009] As shown in Figure 1, in a multi-TRP network, a UE may communicate with multiple TRPs. Typically, the TRPs are accessed by the UEs in different beams. For a typical backhaul network, non-interfering simultaneous transmissions from multiple TRPs are essential, especially for the TR May improve performance at the edge of a P's coverage area. The transmission may improve both PDSCH and PDCCH performance.

[0010] Multi-panel deployment is supported in TRP for multi-beam transmission and reception. The term "TRP" as disclosed herein means Network Side Panel. Multi-panel deployment may be supported in UE. The term "panel" may refer to a panel (e.g., an antenna array) of a UE.

[0011] Multi-panel transmission, where a UE may transmit from multiple panels, improves spectral efficiency. It is known that the transmission from the panel can be coherent or non-coherent. The concept of multi-panel transmission is shown in Figure 2. Each UE panel has a different directionality. Therefore, the best beam or TRP for reception is determined by the The UE is the best TR for a given panel based on measurements. P or beam and feeds that information back to the network. Accordingly, the network determines which beam or TRP is used for PUCCH / PUSCH reception. Each of the Panel-TRP links can be independently Since the link can be considered as a single unit, no coordination between the UE panels is required.

[0012] Multi-TRP PDSCH transmission - traditionally through multiple layers on the same time-frequency resource Codeword transmission may be supported in DL and UL. The CW (Continuous Waveform) may be transmitted by independent beams from different TRPs. Therefore, the CW or DMRS ports per layer may have different QCL assumptions. However, in non-ideal backhaul networks where latency is a concern, , it may be desirable to manipulate TRPs independently whenever possible.

[0013] Therefore, the goal of wireless communication is to achieve downlink for multi-TRP and multi-panel transmission. The purpose of this standard is to enable the extension of link and uplink signaling.

[0014] Multi-TRP PD so that the UE can recognize PDSCHs from different TRPs separately. The procedure to support SCH transmission is to use individual HARQ ACK codes per TRP. This is being considered along with the book. The UE is DSCH2 is received, and in response, Ack1 (for PDSCH1) is sent to TRP1. An example of sending Ack2 (for PDSCH2) to TRP2 is shown in Figure 3. SCH1 and PDSCH2 may correspond to the same or different HARQ processes. Note that the UE must be aware of the received TRP so that it can send an Ack corresponding to the desired TRP. An identifier may be used to associate the received PDSCH with the transmitted TRP.

[0015] SCell configuration in NR - SCell has a downlink (DL) transmission In this case, only the primary cell for the UE is configured. In another scenario, the UL may be transmitted only on the serving cell. A Serving Cell (SCell) is a cell that transmits data via uplink (UL) and DL. In Figure 4A, only DL transmission is configured on the SCell. (b) shows the case where both DL and UL transmissions are configured on the SCell. In Figure 4A, the UE transmits PUCCH / PSCC via the PCell. In Figure 4B, the UE transmits PUCCH H on both the SCell and PCell. / PSCCH or other physical channels, such as PRACH, may be transmitted.

[0016] Beam Failure Request in Rel-15 - In Rel-15, a beam failure is detected and When the candidate beams are defined, the UE sends the RRC message PRACH-ResourceDedicatedBFR The PRACH of the identified best candidate beam is transmitted according to the RACH configuration provided by In Rel-15, BFR is a contention-free random access (BFR) protocol. This may be done via a Conversion-Free Random Access (CFRA) procedure.

[0017] In Rel-15, RRC BeamFailureRecovery in the BWP-UplinkDedicated field The Config IE specifies the RACH resources for beam failure recovery in case of beam failure detection and It may be used to configure candidate beams to the UE. The UE may r in the RRC IE BeamFailureRecoveryConfig field for monitoring the PDCCH C through a link to a search space set provided by recoverySearchSpaceId ORESET may be provided. RecoverySearchSpaceId is the BFR random access It may indicate the search space to use for the access response.

[0020] CORESET associated with a TRP - multi-TRP transmission, one in a PDCCH configuration Or multiple CORESETs correspond to one TRP. Therefore, CORESET Identification (ID) is bound to the TRP and P via CORESET A PDSCH grant may be associated with that TRP. / N is transmitted to that TRP. In this way, PUCCH transmission per TRP is supported. The relationship between the CORESET ID and the TRP ID in the PDCCH configuration The sequence is as depicted.

[0022] JPEG0007823263000004.jpg37170

[0023] The TRP is responsible for one or more Rx beams of the TRP by CSI-RS or SSB. The UE may determine the Tx beam for downlink transmission based on the UE measurements.

[0024] U for monitoring NR-PDCCH on multiple beam-pair links from multiple TRPs E Rx beam configuration parameters are determined by higher layer signaling or MAC CE. At the very least, NR is Between the L RS antenna port and the DL RS antenna port for demodulating the DL control channel Supports indication of spatial QCL assumptions for NR-PDCCH. Possible signaling methods for the signaling (e.g., for monitoring NR-PDCCH) The configuration method for this purpose is MAC CE signaling, RRC signaling, DCI signaling, etc. nulling, transparent or implicit by specification, and the signaling methods for these There are combinations.

[0025] For reception of unicast DL data channels from multiple TRPs, NR uses the DL R Spatial QC between the S antenna port and the DM-RS antenna port of the DL data channel Supports indication of L assumptions. Information indicating the RS antenna port is provided by DCI ( The information is indicated via the DM-RS antenna port and QCL. The RS antenna port for the DL data channel is shown. The different sets may be denoted as QCLs with different sets of RS antenna ports. .

[0026] (Beam obstruction detection using multi-TRP transmission) BFD-UE using CC or multi-CC multi-TRP transmission In Figures 6A and 6B, the network A network (e.g., gNB) may configure multiple (e.g., two) data links. At this time, the UE 200 transmits the TRP 120 from a specific CC (PCell or SCell). 1 and TRP2202 may receive data simultaneously. Ideal or non-ideal buffers between TRPs (e.g., TRP1201 or TRP2202) Depending on the type of network, the network can be configured with a single DCI or Multiple PDSCHs can be provided through multiple DCIs, or multiple PDSCHs can be provided through multiple DCIs as shown in Figure 6B. Multiple PDSCHs may be provided through the DCI.

[0027] In Figures 7A and 7B, the network is configured with multiple (e.g., two) data links. In this case, the UE 200 may set a different CC (PCell or SCell). Data may be received simultaneously through TRP1201 and TRP2202. Even if CC1 is a PCell and CC2 is an SCell, or vice versa good.

[0028] JPEG0007823263000005.jpg57170

[0029] Explicit configuration, e.g., higher layers (RRC) must specify reference signal resources (e.g., For example, CSI-RS) is configured. In the case of multiple CCs (e.g., as shown in Figures 6 and 7), the following are required for BFD operation: The following explicit construction method can be applied:

[0037] Different links (e.g., corresponding to different TRPs or sets of TRPs) may be associated with different C These CORESET pools may be associated with different CORESET pools. By the ORESET pool index, e.g., RRC parameter coresetPoolIndex-r 16 can be used to distinguish between

[0047] 9 shows an exemplary method flow. As shown in FIG. 9, in step 210, A plurality of different CORESET pools (e.g., 2) of serving cells are configured in the UE 200. In step 211, the TCI description of the CORESET of the serving cell is transmitted to the UE 200. In step 212, the first set of BFD RSs may be configured as a first COR. It may be implicitly determined from the RS in the TCI description of the CORESET in the ESET pool. In step 213, the UE 200 performs BFD based on the first set of BFD RSs. In step 214, a second set of BFD RSs is added to the second CORESET pool. In step 215, U E200 may implement BFD based on a second set of BFD RSs.

[0048] An ideal CC or multi-CC backhaul as shown in Figures 6A and 7A, respectively. In the case of multi-TRP transmission using In this case, the UE 200 may use the CSI- Any (beam) fault detection resources provided by higher layers to monitor RS or SSB If not provided, the UE 200 uses each PDCCH that the UE 200 uses to monitor the PDCCH. The RS set indicated by the TCI-state of each (single) CORESET must be used. There is.

[0049] Single DCI scheduling for multi-TRP PDSCH is suitable, for example, in the following cases: It is available. UE200 performs upper layer processing for "FDMSchemeA", "FDMSchemeB", and "TDMSchemeA". If the UE 200 is configured with the parameter RepSchemeEnabler set, the DCI field Two TCI descriptions at the code position of the "Transmission Configuration Indication" and DCI field "Antenna Port(s)" for DM-RS ports in one CDM group. If you are shown this. The UE 200 sends a pdsch-Time containing RepNumR16 in the PDSCH-TimeDomainResourceAllocation. A higher layer parameter PDSCH-c indicating at least one entry in the eDomainAllocationList When configured by config.

[0050] For example, if the UE 200 indicates two different values ​​of CORESETPoolIndex in the ControlResourceSet, When configured by the higher layer parameter PDCCH-Config, multiple multi-TRP PDSCHs are A number of DCI scheduling schemes may be applicable.

[0051] The following description schedules multiple links of the CC shown in FIG. 6A or multiple CCs shown in FIG. 7A. Regarding the options for BFD operation when a single DCI is used to control This is explained in Table 1 below. [Table 1]

[0052] JPEG0007823263000021.jpg124170

[0053] JPEG0007823263000022.jpg139170

[0054] A CC or multi-CC non-ideal backhoe as shown in Figures 6B and 7B, respectively. In the case of multi-TRP transmission using multiple PDCCHs / DCIs or separate PDCCHs / DCI may be supported to schedule multiple PDSCH receptions. In this case, the UE 200 may be provided with multiple / separate PDCCHs with multilink. Therefore, the UE 200 can select the CORESET for each link without any ambiguity. DCI can be mapped independently.

[0055] In this case, BFD operation using implicit configuration is not possible with CC or multi-CC ideal balances. The same disclosed approach can be used for multi-TRP transmission using a block hole. Furthermore, which TCI description is configured in the CORESET is the default QCL for the PDSCH. It is necessary to clarify whether this is an assumption.

[0064] With the foregoing in mind, Figure 10 presents an exemplary UE physical layer procedure flow. In step 220, the first set of RSs for BFD and RSs are sent to the BWP. The second set of RSs is configured in the UE 200. The first RS of the first set of RSs is the first TRP2 01. A second RS of the second set of RSs is transmitted from a second TRP 202. In step 221, the BWP is assigned a R for identifying a new beam (e.g., a candidate beam). A third set of S and a fourth set of RS are configured in the UE 200. The third RS is transmitted from the first TRP 201. The fourth RS of the fourth set of RSs is transmitted from the second TRP 202. In step 222, if the BWP is active, the first R In step 223, the UE performs BFD based on the S and the second RS. If the radio link quality of some or all of the RSs in a set falls below a threshold, the physical layer Periodic indications (e.g., signals or messages) of this The R in the second set is provided to other layers, where the other layers are layers above the physical layer. If the radio link quality of some or all of S falls below a threshold, the physical layer In step 224, the layer (e.g., the physical layer or higher) Upon request, new beam characteristics will be created based on the third set of RS or the fourth set of RS. The setting is performed by the UE.

[0065] Continuing with Figure 10, the procedure (beam fault detection and recovery) consists of two layers ( Step 220 to Step 2 The 24 procedure may be dominated by the PHY portion. Part of the MAC portion may include: In step 225, the MAC may be configured to receive the first or second link (e.g., the first and second links of the RS). PHY indication of radio link quality for the first and second links (corresponding to the second set) In step 226, based on receiving a certain number of PHY indications, In step 227, the MAC may declare a beam failure on the first or second link. ,Based on the beam failure of the first link, the MAC corresponds to the third set of RS of the PHY Request the PHY to perform a new beam identification for the first link. Based on the beam failure of the second link, the MAC will select the fourth set of RSs of the PHY. We will be implementing a two-link New Beam Indicator (NBI). Each layer may send or receive indications throughout the entire system. Although the example is shown as receiving an indication, other layers may send such an indication. Please note that it is also possible that

[0067] (Beam obstruction request using multi-TRP transmission) To support multi-TRP transmission, the disclosed subject matter provides a beam fault recovery request (BEAM Failure Recovery Request (BFRQ) transmission using PUCCH or CFRA During the BFR procedure, the UE 200 may support the following for each TRP of the CC: Only measured CSI-RS resource index (CRI) or synchronization signal block (SSB) One (e.g., best) bee corresponding to the resource index (SSBRI) Only the program may be reported.

[0068] To support BFR using multi-TRP transmission of a CC or multiple CCs, The following options are considered: 1) BFR using contention-free PRACH, 2) PU BFR with CCH, 3) BFR with contention-free 2-step RACH, or 4 )PUSCH use BFR.

[0069] The method herein provides multi-panel transmission of a CC or multiple CCs and multi-TR BF via UL signal (PRACH) / channel (PUCCH, PUSCH) using P It is disclosed in relation to the method of implementation of R.

[0070] The disclosed scenarios are considered for BFR operations with multiple TRPs or multiple panels. In the first scenario, (a) ideal backhaul and multi-panel or (b) a UE with a non-ideal backhaul and multiple panels. In the second scenario, a single CC may use multiple TRP transmissions via , (a) UE with ideal backhaul and multi-panel, or (b) UE with non-ideal backhaul. Multi-TRP transmission by UE with multiple CCs (D In a third scenario, (a ) a UE with an ideal backhaul and multiple panels, or (b) a UE with a non-ideal backhaul UE with multiple panels and multiple TRP transmission by multiple CCs (some D Some CCs may use It is possible.

[0071] As shown in Figures 6A and 6B, the ideal and non-ideal backhaul CC (with both DL and UL) using multi-TRP by The UE 200 can be equipped with multiple panels. In this case, the UE 200 uses the Use a single DCI for each link and a UCI for multiple links (e.g. from different panels). A single UCI may be used for linking.

If the UE200 is equipped with a multi-panel for UL transmission, In this case, the UE's multiple panels transmit multiple UCIs to the same TRP as shown in Figure 11. may be used to

If DL and UL are configured as CC, in this case, PR is ACH transmissions may be carried out on the same CC. Multiple TRPs may be supported on a CC. Depending on the number of links from the same It may be configured by CC.

[0075] In the case of a CC that only has DL (e.g., SCell), the CC can perform UL transmission. Therefore, the CFRA-based BFR is implemented in CC with both DL and UL. It is necessary to

[0076] BFRQ can be classified into several schemes, such as partial beam obstruction or total beam obstruction. Regarding partial beam obstruction, in multi-TRP transmission, UE 200 can simultaneously There are cases where multiple links for transmission are configured. Therefore, multiple links (multi-TR) P) of the beam obstructions occurring between them, but not all of them, means at least one of them. A beam obstruction can occur in the case of partial beam obstruction. , BFRQ may be implemented on links without beam obstructions.

[0083] For example, it may be assumed that two DL and UL links are set up. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A or FIG. 7B, DL link 1 is connected to the TR of CC203, respectively. DL Link 2 is from TRP2202 in CC204. In addition, the UE 200 may have two panels, e.g., UL Link 1 to TRP1201 and UL Link 2 to TRP2202 on CC204 In this scenario, the BFR with CFRA is shown in Figure 14. It is depicted.

[0084] However, when only DL is configured in CC as shown in Figure 14, UL transmission in CC Therefore, it may be impossible to configure the CFRA transmission for BFR. may be implemented on a PCell having DL and UL or their CCs.

[0085] JPEG0007823263000042.jpg130170

[0086] For example, it is assumed that multiple (e.g., two) DL and UL links are configured. As shown in Figure 14, DL link 1 is connected to TRP12 of CC203. 01, and DL Link 2 is from TRP2202 on CC204. However, CC204 may only have DL. In addition, UE200 has two panels. Therefore, both UL links 1 and 2 are connected to TRP1201 on CC203. The CFRA-based BFR in this scenario is depicted in Figure 15.

[0089] It has both BFR-DL and UL which may be transmitted via PUCCH / UCI. For reporting beam failure by CC multi-TRP transmission, UE200 has: 1) PU CCH or PRACH BFR resources, or 2) PUCCH and PRACH In the case of both PUCCH and PRACH, PUCCH and If both PRACH and BFR are configured, PUCCH resources for BFR or BFR Both may be used whenever PRACH resources for BFR are available. Which resource to use for this may be up to the UE implementation.

[0090] JPEG0007823263000045.jpg16170

[0091] Dedicated PUCCH resources for PUCCH opportunities are provided by higher layers (RRC). The configuration parameters may include PUCCH format, starting PRB / PRB offset, Frequency hopping (inter-slot, intra-slot), period, first symbol (start symbol) / startingSymbolIndex, number of symbols / nrofSymbols, starting CS index (initialCyc licShift), number of PRBs / nrofPRBs, time domain OCC (occ-Length, occ-Index), Additional DM-RS, maximum code rate, number of slots, pi2BPK and ssb-perPUCCH-Occas ion. As shown in FIG. 11A or 11B, a dedicated PUCCH transmission opportunity may include P For BFR using PUCCH, g The NB may configure periodic PUCCH resources for BFRQ transmissions. However, If BFR is not present in a PUCCH opportunity, UCI / PUCCH transmission may not occur. be.

[0092] In the case of prioritization, the priority rule of UCI is BFR>HARQ-ACK / SR> It may also be specified as periodic CSI (P-CSI).

[0098] Like the BFR use case with CFRA, BFR using PUCCH resources This may depend on one or more of the following deployment cases: Multi-TRP transmission using CC or multi-CC ideal backhaul as shown In the first deployment case, a single DCI schedules multiple PDSCH receptions. In this case, a dedicated PUC for multi-link (from multi-TRP) The CH transmission opportunity may be used and the link / TRP ID may be used for BFR PUCCH. It may be indicated by DM-RS.

[0101] A CC or multi-CC non-ideal backhoe as shown in Figures 6B and 7B, respectively. In the fourth scenario, where multiple TRPs are transmitted using a 1000-Mbps hop count, the multi-TRP / individual DCI is transmitted over multiple hop counts. In this case, the B Separate dedicated PUCCH transmission opportunities may be configured in the UE 200 for FR. Dedicated PUCCH transmission opportunities are time overlapped via TDM, FDM, or SDM It may be based on frequency.

[0102] In the fifth scenario, if the SCell has only DL, the BFR PUCCH is BFR PUCCH resources may be configured in the Cell. It may be configured based on a non-ideal backhaul.

[0103] JPEG0007823263000055.jpg52170

[0104] For example, it may be assumed that multiple DL and UL links are configured. As shown in A, DL link 1 is from TRP1201 of CC203. DL Link 2 is from TRP2202 in CC204, which is the ideal backhaul It is located between the TRP1201 and TRP2202. In addition, the UE200 has two panels. For example, UL link 1 to TRP1201 in CC203, and CC204, respectively. UL Link 2 to TRP2202. H using BFR is depicted in Figure 17. In this case, BFR using PUCCH The transmission may be carried on UL CC203 and the Link / TRP ID may be BFR P Therefore, only CC203 may be distinguished by the DM-RS for UCCH. It may be configured to use PUCCH for R.

[0105] JPEG0007823263000056.jpg53170

[0106] For example, as shown in Figure B, multiple items are set to CC203, and CC DL link 1 of the 204 is from TRP1201, DL link 2 is from TRP220 2, and a non-ideal backhaul exists between TRP1201 and TRP2202. However, CC204 only has DL. In addition, The UE200 is connected to two panels, e.g., the UL relay to the TRP1201 of the CC203, respectively. UL Link 1 to the TRP2202 on the CC204, and UL Link 2 to the TRP2202 on the CC204. The BFR using PUCCH in this example is shown in Figure 19. BFR PUCC H1 and BFR PUCCH2 are separate. In this case, BFR PUC It may be assumed that CH1 and BFR PUCCH2 are based on TDM.

[0107] During the BFR procedure, the UE 200 uses the configured CSI-RS or SS per CC. The best measured quality of the CRI or SSBRI from a set of B-indexes (e.g. RSRP) (CSI-RS or SSB index may be reported as clear or (Note that this may be based on an implicit configuration.) The link control information (UCI) is presented in Table 5 (with CRI or SSBRI for BFR). Example mapping order of CSI fields in reporting).

[0108] The UCI that transmits the CRI / SSBRI for BSR is 1) shown in Figure 6A or Figure 6B 1) a single CC with multi-TRP / panel transmission such as that shown in FIG. 7A or 7B; or 2) Used in use cases such as multiple CCs with multi-TRP / panel transmission, as shown in It is okay to do so.

[0111] The following method is a contention-free two-step RAC for BFR on the PCell. Can be used for H.

[0113] Contention-free 2-step RACH-based BFR on SCell with DL only In this case, the contention-free PRACH preamble and PUSCH resource (PUSCH R There may be a one-to-one mapping between the PRU and the M When sgA transmission is performed, the DMRS port or DMRS sequence is implicitly indicated to the physical layer. Alternatively, the DMRS port or DMRS sequence may be The QoS may be implicitly determined by the physical layer based on the QoS.

[0114] For example, as shown in FIG. 11B, multiple DL and UL links are connected to CC203 and CC204's DL link 1 is from TRP1201, DL link 2 is from TRP2202 and non-ideal backhaul is from TRP120 It is sometimes assumed that CC204 is between 1 and TRP2202. However, CC204 is D In addition, the UE 200 may have only two panels, e.g., C UL Link 1 to TRP1201 on C203, and UL to TRP2202 on CC204 It may be equipped with L-Link 2.

[0115] The configuration example of Figure 11B, the contention-free 2-step RACH for BFR, is shown in Figure 11B. 20. In this example, the UE 200 receives the PRACH preamble and the MsgA A timing offset may be configured between the For example, the PRACH preamble and the PUSCH may be configured as TDM or FDM Note that the contention frame for BFR may be transmitted in the same slot. In order to transmit the two-step RACH on the PCell, the UE 200 transmits the PRACH and The UL spatial relationship of the PUSCH and PUSCH transmissions, e.g., TCI description, is monitored by the UE 200 on the PCell. automatically based on the factor that the CORESET ID is the same as the lowest CORESET ID that can be viewed. is decided.

[0120] However, in the use case where only DL is configured in the SCell, the 2-step RACH If an SCell is configured with both DL and UL, this The SCell can transmit over those faulty links without the assistance of other cells. Therefore, those failed link indexes are included in the MAC CE payload. Therefore, the MAC CE content is as shown in Figure 22. can be reduced to

[0121] PUSCH will be reported by a single report by the BFR-MAC CE. Failed CC index, new beam information (if any), or beam failure index In this case, the MAC CE resources are allocated to a dedicated PUCCH for BFR or or PRACH. Failed CC index, new beam Information, or CORESET ID, is used in dedicated PUCCH or PRACH for BFR. Since SCel may be reported by a single report by MAC-CE without using The delay of l-BFR may be large and may not be controllable by gNB. When a normal SR is received, the gNB will typically immediately start PUSCH transmission. This may be because the schedule may not be met. In this case, for example, The following use cases are possible:

[0122] The first use case is BFR on some SCells that only have DL. and BFR if there are available resources for PUSCH transmission on the PCell Use a contention-free RACH or two-step RACH approach for The disclosed MsgA content may be carried by a normal PUSCH without any need for a PUSCH.

[0126] Regarding UL Panel ID indication, the UL Panel ID is the DM- It may be conveyed via the RS or explicitly signaled in the PUSCH payload.

[0127] In some cases, the MAC CE may experience beam obstruction in one or more serving cells. or its serving cell(s) to indicate one or more links. (Also, RACH-based BFR as mentioned above, e.g., two-step RACH may be used.) (This is also applicable to

[0128] For example, an exemplary 4-octet code indicating beam or non-beam impairments of a cell or link: Consider the MAC CE of FIG. 23, which includes a bitmap.

[0129] C m The field is used for beam failure detection and service identification with, for example, ServCellIndex m. Indicates the presence of an octet containing the AC field for a processing cell. m centre The field is used when a beam failure is detected and the octet containing the AC field is Indicates that it is present for the serving cell with dex m. C set to 0 m Phi The field is set to 0 if no beam obstruction is detected and the octet containing the AC field is Indicates that the cell does not exist for the serving cell with dex m. The octets are present in ascending order based on ServCellIndex.

[0130] In this example, 32 serving cells or links may be shown. In the case of six serving cells, each cell is considered to have two links.

[0131] In one example, C0 and C1 are the first cells (e.g., the lowest index ServCell the first link (e.g., i=0) and the second link (e.g., i=1) of the serving cell with Index 0. The next fields C2 and C3 respectively indicate the second link (e.g., i=1). It shows the first link and second link of the cell, etc.

[0132] In various examples, different serving cells have different numbers of configured links. The number of links with serving cell index k and the low link index of serving cell k If the total number of links with indexes is m-1, then C m denotes link i in cell k C0 indicates the first link of the serving cell with the lowest index There are cases where this happens.

[0133] In another example, C0, C1, ..., C 15 are serving cells 0, ...1, respectively. Shows the first link of 5. C 16 , C 17 ,...C 31 are the serving cell 0, respectively. , ...15 shows the second link.

[0134] In various examples, different serving cells have different numbers of configured links. M (where M is the highest serving cell index of this MAC entity). index), C m may denote the first link cell m, where m is greater than M If C m may refer to the second link in a cell that has more than one link configured. be.

[0135] JPEG0007823263000068.jpg49170

[0136] C m The field is beam failure detection, and the serving cell with ServCellIndex m The example showing the presence of an octet containing an AC field for A quotet may also contain a link field (L) as shown in Figure 24. For example, When a single link is configured to the corresponding serving cell, the AC Octave is used as shown in Figure 23. The tet contains a 1-bit R (reserved, set to 0) field. If multiple links, e.g., two links, are configured in the corresponding serving cell, the L-feature The field indicates whether the next AC octet corresponds to the same cell but to a different link. For example, if L=0, the next AC octet indicates the C field. For L=1, the next The AC octet corresponds to another link with a detected beam failure in the same serving cell. If different links are associated with different sets of candidate RSs, The index of the link may be removed from the candidate RS IDs by the network. Note that in some cases, the number of links corresponds to different links of the serving cell. The AC octets are arranged in link index order. In this case, the AC field is set to 0, one or more links of the same serving cell fail, and M The network removes the failed link even if it is included in the AC CE. In one example, the AC field may be set to 0 (e.g., the corresponding candidate RS I D does not exist), the reserved (otherwise used for the candidate RS ID) One or more of the bits are used to indicate the corresponding link index. This resolves the ambiguity of the failed link when there is no corresponding candidate RS ID. It can be decided.
