Devices and methods for communication in a wireless communication network

A communication method, comprising:

• measuring, by a user equipment, a first signal or channel in a first resource for a beam or link failure detection, wherein the user equipment is configured to communicate using the first signal or channel via the first resource with a first user equipment and using a second signal or channel via a second resource with a second user equipment;
• and
• in response to a detected failure in the first resource:
• selecting, by the user equipment, the second resource for the second signal or channel based on the first resource for the first signal or channel and a correspondence between the first resource and the second resource;
• transmitting, by the user equipment, the second signal or channel via the second resource to the second user equipment for a failure recovery request or a failure indication, wherein the failure recovery request is configured to trigger the second user equipment to transmit the failure recovery request to a base station via a third resource, the first resource, the second resource, and the third resource being different from one another, and wherein the user equipment, the first user equipment, and the second user equipment are different from one another;
• and
• monitoring, by the user equipment, a failure recovery response in a different search space or a different control resource set (CORESET) based on same antenna port quasi-collocation parameters respectively with more than one reference signal (RS) or synchronization signal (SS) indicated by the second signal or channel via the second resource.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a user equipment, cause the user equipment to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• measuring a first signal or channel in a first resource for a beam or link failure detection, wherein the user equipment is configured to communicate using the first signal or channel via the first resource with a first user equipment and using a second signal or channel via a second resource with a second user equipment;
• and
• in response to a detected failure in the first resource:
• selecting the second resource for the second signal or channel based on the first resource for the first signal or channel and a correspondence between the first resource and the second resource;
• transmitting the second signal or channel via the second resource to the second user equipment for a failure recovery request or a failure indication, wherein the failure recovery request is configured to trigger the second user equipment to transmit the failure recovery request to a base station via a third resource, the first resource, the second resource, and the third resource being different from one another, and wherein the user equipment, the first user equipment, and the second user equipment are different from one another;
• and
• monitoring a failure recovery response in a different search space or a different control resource set (CORESET) based on same antenna port quasi-collocation parameters respectively with more than one reference signal (RS) or synchronization signal (SS) indicated by the second signal or channel via the second resource.
