Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more configuration parameters indicating a time window for controlling a radio link failure indication based on a beam failure recovery procedure. A first failure of the beam failure recovery procedure is determined during the time window. The first failure is ignored by not causing a radio link failure in response to the first failure being during the time window. A second failure of the beam failure recovery procedure after the time window is determined. A radio link failure in response to the second failure is indicated.

Claims (37)

1. A method comprising the following acts executed by a wireless device:

receiving one or more configuration parameters indicating a time window for controlling a radio link failure indication based on a beam failure recovery procedure;

determining a first failure of the beam failure recovery procedure during the time window;

ignoring the first failure by not causing a radio link failure in response to the first failure being during the time window;

determining a second failure of the beam failure recovery procedure after the time window; and

indicating a radio link failure in response to the second failure.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the first failure of the beam failure recovery procedure comprises a preamble counter being equal to a maximum number of preamble transmissions.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the first failure of the beam failure recovery procedure comprises an expiry of a beam failure recovery timer.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further indicate the beam failure recovery timer.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the second failure of the beam failure recovery procedure comprises a preamble counter being equal to a maximum number of preamble transmissions.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the second failure of the beam failure recovery procedure comprises an expiry of a beam failure recovery timer.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further indicate the beam failure recovery timer.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further indicate a maximum number of preamble transmissions for the beam failure recovery procedure.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising initiating the beam failure recovery procedure based on detecting a beam failure.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising starting a beam failure recovery timer in response to the initiating the beam failure recovery procedure.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more configuration parameters indicating a time window for controlling a radio link failure indication based on a beam failure recovery procedure;

determine a first failure of the beam failure recovery procedure during the time window;

ignore the first failure by not causing a radio link failure in response to the first failure being during the time window;

determine a second failure of the beam failure recovery procedure after the time window; and

indicate a radio link failure in response to the second failure.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the determination of the first failure of the beam failure recovery procedure comprises a preamble counter being equal to a maximum number of preamble transmissions.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the determination of the first failure of the beam failure recovery procedure comprises an expiry of a beam failure recovery timer.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further indicate the beam failure recovery timer.

15. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the determination of the second failure of the beam failure recovery procedure comprises a preamble counter being equal to a maximum number of preamble transmissions.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the determination of the second failure of the beam failure recovery procedure comprises an expiry of a beam failure recovery timer.

17. The wireless device of claim 16 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further indicate the beam failure recovery timer.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more configuration parameters further indicate a maximum number of preamble transmissions for the beam failure recovery procedure.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to initiate the beam failure recovery procedure based on detecting a beam failure.

20. A base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the base station to:

transmit one or more configuration parameters indicating (i) a timer for controlling a radio link failure indication based on a beam failure recovery procedure, (ii) a beam failure recovery timer, and (iii) a radio link failure timer, wherein the timer for controlling the radio link failure indication, the beam failure recovery timer, and the radio link failure timer are different timers; and

receive, from a wireless device, an indication of a radio link failure that is based on a failure of the beam failure recovery procedure that is after expiry of the timer for controlling the radio link failure indication.

21. The base station of claim 20 , wherein the timer for controlling the radio link failure indication is configured to start when the radio link failure timer starts, and wherein the indication of a radio link failure is not received after expiry of the radio link failure timer when the expiry of the radio link failure timer is before expiry of the timer for controlling the radio link failure indication.
