1. A processor of a user equipment (UE) configured to perform operations comprising:
receiving a signal from a network indicating that a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) secondary cell (SCell) activation procedure has been initiated;
generating, for transmission to the network, capability information indicating whether the UE supports cross PUCCH group channel state information (CSI) reporting;
collecting beam information corresponding to a target PUCCH SCell, wherein the beam information includes beam measurement information;
reporting the beam information to a primary cell (PCell) during the PUCCH SCell activation procedure;
determining that the target PUCCH SCell has been activated as a PUCCH SCell; and
generating, for transmission to the network, uplink control information (UCI) for the PUCCH SCell, wherein the UE is also configured with a different PUCCH corresponding to the PCell.
