Beam recovery frame structure and recovery request for communication systems

An apparatus for a user equipment (UE) device, comprising baseband circuitry having:

• a radio frequency (RF) interface configured to receive a beam recovery frame structure that includes one or more recovery channels associated with a PUCCH resource;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• generate one or more beam recovery signals based on the beam recovery frame structure;
• and
• transmit the one or more beam recovery signals wherein a scaling factor K is selected between a subcarrier spacing of the one or more recovery channels and the transmitted one or more beam recovery signals.

A non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions that, when executed, cause a base station to:

• determine a beam recovery frame structure that includes a recovery channel associated with a configured PUCCH resource;
• receive one or more beam recovery signals associated with the recovery channel;
• and
• select a scaling factor K between a subcarrier spacing of the recovery channel and a beam recovery signal of the one or more beam recovery signals.
