1. A user equipment, comprising:
a transceiver which, in operation, receives, from a base station, a configuration of dedicated uplink radio resources; and
a processor which, in response to detecting a downlink beam failure event, initiates a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure including the transceiver transmitting a beam failure recovery signal using the dedicated uplink radio resources included in the configuration,
wherein the configuration includes a timer indicating a validity time of the dedicated uplink radio resources corresponding to contention-free resources for the BFR procedure, wherein the validity time of the timer is differently defined from a time length of the dedicated uplink radio resources.
