Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to reporting beam failure. A terminal device detects a beam failure on one or more serving cells of the terminal device. If the beam failure is detected on the one or more serving cells, the terminal device obtains information concerning one or more candidate beams and the one or more serving cells. Each of the one or more candidate beams is associated with a respective one of the one or more serving cells. The terminal device then transmits at least a portion of the information to a network device associated with the one or more serving cells.
Claims26
A terminal device comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including program codes;
- the at least one memory and the program codes are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the terminal device at least to:
- detect a beam failure on one or more serving cells for the terminal device;
- obtain information concerning one or more candidate beams and the one or more serving cells, each of the one or more candidate beams associated with a respective one of the one or more serving cells;
- and
- transmit, to a network device associated with the one or more serving cells, a truncated beam failure recovery (BFR) report in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), which contains only a portion of the information.
(canceled)
A network device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory including program codes;
- the at least one memory and the program codes are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the network device at least to:
- receive, from a terminal device, a truncated beam failure recovery (BFR) report in a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE), which contains only a portion of information, wherein the information concerns one or more candidate beams and one or more serving cells on which a beam failure is detected, each of the one or more candidate beams associated with a respective one of the one or more serving cells;
- and
- determine, based on the portion of the information, that at least one beam failure is reported for the one or more serving cells.
