Methods and apparatuses for beam measurement and reporting. A method performed by a user equipment (UE) includes transmitting capability information; receiving information indicating a group based beam reporting; and measuring reference signals. The method further includes determining, based on the information and the measurement, a group of two resource indicators; determining, based on the measurement, beam metrics corresponding to the group of two resource indicators; and transmitting, in a channel state information (CSI) reporting instance, the group of two resource indicators and the beam metrics.
