Methods and apparatuses for signaling framework for flexible beam management

The embodiment of the present disclosure relates to methods and apparatuses for signaling framework for flexible beam management in a wireless communications network. A method performed by a UE (300) comprises: receiving (201), from a network node (500), via a higher layer, a configuration of at least one information element (IE), said configuration comprising at least: an identifier (ID) unique to each IE and ID(s) of one or more uplink (UL) resource(s) and/or downlink (DL) resource(s) that is/are used to indicate at least a spatial filter or beam direction for transmission of at least a Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH) resource and/or a Physical Uplink Control Channel (PUCCH) resource, and/or a Sounding reference Signal (SRS) resource; and applying (202) the configuration provided in the at least one IE for the transmission of the PUSCH resource, and/or the PUCCH resource and/or the SRS resource. There is also provided a method performed by a network node (500), a UE (300) and a network node (500).
