Methods and apparatuses for beam-level radio resource management and mobility are provided. A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver and at least one processor operably connected to the transceiver. The transceiver is configured to receive measurement resource configuration information that includes at least one measurement reference signal (RS) resource configuration, transmit a trigger request, and receive a measurement report trigger. The at least one processor is configured to calculate, in response to receipt of the measurement report trigger, a measurement report from a measurement RS. The transceiver is further configured to transmit the measurement report. The RS resource configuration is associated with a radio resource unit.
