Abstract

A wireless device initiates a beam failure recovery procedure based on a beam failure of at least one beam of a cell. A radio link failure is determined based on a failure of the beam failure recovery procedure. A radio link failure report is transmitted. The radio link failure report comprises: a first field indicating that the failure of the beam failure recovery procedure is a cause of the radio link failure; and a second field indicating a random access resource for the beam failure recovery procedure.

Claims (68)

1. A method comprising:

initiating, by a wireless device, a beam failure recovery procedure based on a beam failure of at least one beam of a cell;

determining a radio link failure based on a failure of the beam failure recovery procedure; and

transmitting a radio link failure report comprising:

a first field indicating that the failure of the beam failure recovery procedure is a cause of the radio link failure; and

a second field indicating a random access resource for the beam failure recovery procedure.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a radio resource control message comprising one or more beam configuration parameters of the at least one beam of the cell.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

the radio resource control message indicates a random access preamble for the beam failure recovery procedure; and

the beam failure recovery procedure comprises transmitting the random access preamble for a recovery request.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the radio link failure report comprises the one or more beam configuration parameters of the at least one beam of the cell.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the radio link failure report comprises at least one of:

control resource set information for the beam failure recovery procedure; or

a number of random access preamble transmissions associated with the beam failure recovery procedure.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the radio link failure report indicates at least one of:

a cell identifier of the cell;

at least one beam index of the at least one beam of the cell;

a beam index of a candidate beam for the beam failure recovery procedure; or

a received power for the candidate beam for the beam failure recovery procedure.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one beam comprises at least one of:

a synchronization signal block beam; or

a channel state information-reference signal beam.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

selecting, by the wireless device and based on the determining the radio link failure, a second cell of a first base station;

transmitting, to the first base station, a preamble for a random access to the second cell of the first base station; and

receiving a random access response in response to the preamble for the random access.

9. 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:

initiate a beam failure recovery procedure based on a beam failure of at least one beam of a cell;

determine a radio link failure based on a failure of the beam failure recovery procedure; and

transmit a radio link failure report comprising:

a first field indicating that the failure of the beam failure recovery procedure is a cause of the radio link failure; and

a second field indicating a random access resource for the beam failure recovery procedure.

10. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to receive a radio resource control message comprising one or more beam configuration parameters of the at least one beam of the cell.

11. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein:

the radio resource control message indicates a random access preamble for the beam failure recovery procedure; and

the beam failure recovery procedure comprises transmitting the random access preamble for a recovery request.

12. The wireless device of claim 10 , wherein the radio link failure report comprises the one or more beam configuration parameters of the at least one beam of the cell.

13. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the radio link failure report comprises at least one of:

control resource set information for the beam failure recovery procedure; or

a number of random access preamble transmissions associated with the beam failure recovery procedure.

14. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the radio link failure report indicates at least one of:

a cell identifier of the cell;

at least one beam index of the at least one beam of the cell;

a beam index of a candidate beam for the beam failure recovery procedure; or

a received power for the candidate beam for the beam failure recovery procedure.

15. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the at least one beam comprises at least one of:

a synchronization signal block beam; or

a channel state information-reference signal beam.

16. The wireless device of claim 9 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the wireless device to:

select, based on the wireless device determining the radio link failure, a second cell of a first base station;

transmit, to the first base station, a preamble for a random access to the second cell of the first base station; and

receive a random access response in response to the preamble for the random access.

17. A first base station comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

receive a radio link failure report comprising:

a first field indicating that a failure of a beam failure recovery procedure is a cause of a radio link failure; and

a second field indicating a random access resource for the beam failure recovery procedure.

18. The first base station of claim 17 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the first base station to:

receive, from a second base station, a part of the radio link failure report;

determine, based on the part of the radio link failure report, configuration parameters of a cell on which a beam failure occurred; and

transmit, to one or more wireless devices, the configuration parameters.

19. The first base station of claim 17 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the first base station to transmit a radio resource control message comprising one or more beam configuration parameters of at least one beam of a cell for which the beam failure recovery procedure is performed.

20. The first base station of claim 19 , wherein:

the radio resource control message indicates a random access preamble for the beam failure recovery procedure; and

the beam failure recovery procedure comprises receiving the random access preamble for a recovery request.
