The present disclosure relates to a communication scheme and a
system for combining an IoT technology with a 5G communication
system for supporting a higher data transfer rate than a 4G
system. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (e.g., smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart cars or connected cars, health care,
digital education, retail business, and security- and safety-related services) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and an IoT-related technology. The present disclosure proposes a method and an apparatus for beam failure
recovery. An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method of a terminal in a
wireless communication system. The method of the terminal comprises the steps of: obtaining information on at least one reference
signal for beam failure detection; identifying whether a beam failure is detected for each of a first reference
signal set and a second reference
signal set included in the at least one reference signal; and if a beam failure is detected for at least one of the first reference signal set and the second reference signal set, performing a beam failure
recovery procedure for the reference signal set in which the beam failure is detected, wherein the first reference signal set is related to a first control resource set (
CORESET)
pool, and the second reference signal set is related to a second
CORESET pool.
