Abstract

Wireless communications using multiple active resources (e.g., bandwidth parts (BWPs)) are described. A wireless device may perform failure event detection, such as radio link monitoring (RLM) and/or beam failure detection (BFD), jointly or separately for multiple active resources (e.g., BWPs) based on one or more criteria.

Claims (47)

1. A method comprising:

activating, by a wireless device, at least two downlink bandwidth parts (BWPs) for a cell;

determining, for beam failure detection, radio link quality of one or more reference signals associated with a first downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs; and

sending, based on the radio link quality of the one or more reference signals, a signal indicating a beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving one or more configuration parameters indicating:

a first set of reference signals, of the one or more reference signals, for a beam failure detection associated with the first downlink BWP; and

a second set of reference signals, of the one or more reference signals, for a beam failure detection associated with a second downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs based on at least one of:

a beam failure detection associated with the first downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs; or

a beam failure detection associated with a second downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising monitoring, during an active state of the first downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs, a downlink control channel of the first downlink BWP.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining the beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs based on the radio link quality not satisfying a threshold.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the signal comprises a beam failure indication provided to a higher layer of the wireless device.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending the signal indicating the beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs comprises sending one or more messages associated with beam failure recovery.

8. 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:

activate at least two downlink bandwidth parts (BWPs) for a cell;

determine, for beam failure detection, radio link quality of one or more reference signals associated with a first downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs; and

send, based on the radio link quality of the one or more reference signals, a signal indicating a beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs.

9. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive one or more configuration parameters indicating:

a first set of reference signals, of the one or more reference signals, for a beam failure detection associated with the first downlink BWP; and

a second set of reference signals, of the one or more reference signals, for a beam failure detection associated with a second downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs.

10. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to determine the beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs based on at least one of:

a beam failure detection associated with the first downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs; or

a beam failure detection associated with a second downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs.

11. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to monitor, during an active state of the first downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs, a downlink control channel of the first downlink BWP.

12. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to determine the beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs based on the radio link quality not satisfying a threshold.

13. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the signal comprises a beam failure indication provided to a higher layer of the wireless device.

14. The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to send the signal indicating the beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs by sending one or more messages associated with beam failure recovery.

15. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed, configure a wireless device to:

activate at least two downlink bandwidth parts (BWPs) for a cell;

determine, for beam failure detection, radio link quality of one or more reference signals associated with a first downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs; and

send, based on the radio link quality of the one or more reference signals, a signal indicating a beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs.

16. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to:

receive one or more configuration parameters indicating:

a first set of reference signals, of the one or more reference signals, for a beam failure detection associated with the first downlink BWP; and

a second set of reference signals, of the one or more reference signals, for a beam failure detection associated with a second downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to determine the beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs based on at least one of:

a beam failure detection associated with the first downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs; or

a beam failure detection associated with a second downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to monitor, during an active state of the first downlink BWP of the at least two downlink BWPs, a downlink control channel of the first downlink BWP.

19. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to determine the beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs based on the radio link quality not satisfying a threshold.

20. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the signal comprises a beam failure indication provided to a higher layer of the wireless device.

21. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, configure the wireless device to send the signal indicating the beam failure for the at least two downlink BWPs by sending one or more messages associated with beam failure recovery.
