Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and processes are for measuring link metrics for a plurality of reference signals associated with a plurality of beams from a base station. The systems and methods are for determining that a link metric value is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold. The systems and process include detecting beam failure, classifying beam recovery as high priority, opportunistic beam failure recovery and performing an optimal random access channel (RACH) process through intelligent selection of beams and modules.
