1. An apparatus comprising:
a transmitter that transmits information indicating a beam switch request, measurement results, or some combination thereof, wherein the information indicates a list of beams, and the information is based on a trigger event, the measurement results, or some combination thereof, wherein the information comprises a list of beam identifiers corresponding to the list of beams and the list of beam identifiers comprises a maximum number of beams configured by signaling; and
a receiver that receives a beam switch command based on the information transmitted, wherein the beam switch command comprises an indication of a beam to switch to, wherein, in response to the receiver receiving a response corresponding to the transmitted information after an expiration time of a timer, the transmitter transmits an indication of beam failure in an uplink resource.
