Abstract
A method may include receiving, from a network node, association and configuration information for a plurality of sequences, where each sequence may be associated to at least one network-node beam or beam-pair link. The method may also include performing beam measurements of beams from the network node to obtain beam measurement information. The method may further include detecting beam misalignment of the beam based on the beam measurement information. In addition, the method may include transmitting a sequence among the plurality of sequences to the network node to inform the network node of the beam misalignment, and to trigger the network node to start a beam adjustment procedure and a monitoring procedure for a configured-grant configuration. Further, the method may include, after transmitting the sequence, considering the indicated preferred beam as a new serving beam, and switching to the configured-grant configuration associated with this new serving beam.
