A method for operating an access node includes receiving motion information from a user equipment (UE) in accordance with a communications beam, determining a predicted area of the UE in accordance with the motion information, configuring multiple tracking beams in accordance with the predicted area of the UE, and sending the multiple tracking beams.

A base station retransmits data to a user equipment (UE) using a fast beam selection process before the retransmission. The UE transmits an uplink feedback in a beam sweep manner to facilitate fast beam selection in retransmission. The base station can measure the beam sweep patterns from the UE to decide the best beam for retransmission. The UE can send a negative acknowledgment (NACK) or a reference signal in a beam sweep manner to facilitate beam selection at the base station for retransmission.

The method includes: determining, by a terminal device at a moment n, that a communication failure occurs on a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) on a first control resource set; and if the terminal device detects, within a first time period after the moment n, that channel quality of the PDCCH on the first control resource set meets a first preset condition, canceling, by the terminal device, sending of communication failure recovery request information, and/or stopping, by the terminal device, timing of a communication failure recovery clock. In the embodiments of the present invention, a communication link can be rapidly recovered after a communication failure occurs.
