ENHANCED BEAM FAILURE INDICATOR AND APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17483306 titled 'ENHANCED BEAM FAILURE INDICATOR AND APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure provides techniques for enhancing beam failure indications and detections in wireless communication systems.
- Techniques for identifying and indicating reasons associated with beam failures are provided.
- User equipment (UE) evaluates multiple beam failure indicator (BFI) trigger conditions based on beam failure detection (BFD) reference signal (RS) measurements.
- The UE logs different types of BFIs based on the evaluation.
- If a logged number of BFIs exceeds a threshold value within a measurement period, the UE declares a beam failure.
- The UE transmits an indication of the beam failure and a reason for the beam failure to a network entity based on the different types of BFIs detected.

- Wireless communication systems
- Cellular networks
- 5G networks
Problems Solved
- Enhancing beam failure indications and detections
- Identifying reasons associated with beam failures
- Improving beam failure detection in wireless communication systems
Benefits
- Improved reliability of wireless communication systems

Original Abstract Submitted
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for enhancing beam failure indications and detections. In particular, the present disclosure provides techniques for identifying and indicating reasons associated with beam failures. For example, in aspects, a user equipment (UE) may evaluate multiple beam failure indicator (BFI) trigger conditions based on beam failure detection (BFD) reference signal (RS) measurements. The UE logs different types of BFIs based on the evaluating. If a logged number of BFIs exceeds a threshold value within a measurement period, the UE declares a beam failure and transmits, to a network entity, an indication of the beam failure and a reason for the beam failure based on the different types of BFIs detected.
