Methods and apparatuses for user equipment (UE) initiated reporting in a wireless communication system. A method of operating a UE includes receiving first information related to resources for a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH); receiving second information related to (i) beam measurement resources and (ii) a beam report configuration; and receiving third information related to a condition to transmit a beam report; measuring the beam measurement resources. The method further comprises determining, based on the measurement and the condition, whether to transmit the beam report; in response to determining to transmit the beam report, determining the beam report based on the measurement; and transmitting, via a resource from the resources for the PUSCH, the beam report. The resource for the PUSCH is a Type 1 configured grant PUSCH resource.
