Abstract

A beam failure processing method, a terminal and a network device are provided. The method includes: sending a beam failure recovery request to a network device in a case that a beam failure event occurs on an active BWP; and receiving, through a CORESET-BFR in a target downlink BWP, response information fed back by the network device according to the beam failure recovery request, where the target downlink BWP corresponds to at least two BWPs, and the at least two BWPs includes the active BWP.
