Methods and apparatuses for beam failure recovery (BFR)

A User Equipment (UE) for performing a Beam Failure Recovery (BFR) procedure, the UE comprising:

• at least one memory storing a set of instructions;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, the at least one processor configured to execute the set of instructions to:
• receive, from a Base Station (BS), a first configuration indicating a first Reference Signal (RS) associated with a first cell of the BS;
• determine whether a first beam failure event is detected on the first cell by assessing a first radio link quality based on the first RS;
• trigger a first BFR procedure for the first cell when the first beam failure event is detected on the first cell;
• and
• when the first BFR procedure is triggered and not cancelled, determine whether the UE is allocated with an Uplink (UL) resource that is available for transmitting a BFR report, the UL resource being a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resource;
• when the UE is allocated with the UL resource, generate, in response to the first BFR procedure, the BFR report, and
• transmit, on the UL resource, the BFR report to the BS;
• and
• when the UE is not allocated with the UL resource, trigger, in response to the first BFR procedure, a Scheduling Request (SR) procedure for BFR.
