PUCCH and PUSCH default beam considering beam failure recovery

Abstract:

An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) comprises one or more baseband processors to generate a beam failure recovery request to be transmitted to a Fifth Generation (5G) NodeB (gNB) over a physical random access channel (PRACH), to process a response from the gNB, and to generate a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission to be transmitted to the gNB using a default spatial relation comprising a same spatial filter as used for the beam failure recovery request transmission over the PRACH. A beam failure recovery request is to be transmitted to a gNB after a random access response from the gNB, wherein the beam failure recovery request is to be transmitted via Message 1 or Message 3 to the gNB, and a response is to be received from the gNB via Message 2 or Message 4.
