Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. A base station (BS), comprising:
a transceiver configured to transmit, to a user equipment (UE):
first configuration information for at least two beam failure detection (BFD) reference signal (RS) sets each comprising one or more BFD RSs resources; and
second configuration information for at least two new beam identification (NBI) RS sets each comprising one or more NBI RS resources, wherein a one-to-one association exists between the at least two NBI RS sets and the at least two BFD RS sets; and

a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to perform a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure with the UE after a beam failure event for one of the at least two BFD RS sets and identification of one or more NBI RS resources of the at least two new NBI RS sets for a new beam recovery,
wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit one or more transmission configuration indication (TCI) states for one or more physical downlink control channels (PDCCHs), the TCI states indicating the one for more BFD RS resources for each of the at least two BFD RS sets.
