Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for wireless communications. A wireless device may inform a base station of a failure of a failure recovery procedure for a secondary cell. The wireless device may include an indicator of the failure in a report providing, or configured to provide, values for signal strength or other characteristic of a downlink signal. The indicator may be in addition to, and/or may replace, one or more indicators of signal strength or other characteristic.

the uplink transmission; or

the monitoring.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising determining that the failure recovery procedure is unsuccessful based on at least one of:

an expiration of a timer associated with the secondary cell; or

a maximum quantity of failure instances for the failure recovery procedure.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one RS comprises at least one of:

an RS of a primary cell; or

an RS of the secondary cell.

9 . A method comprising:

transmitting, by a base station, at least one configuration parameter that indicates at least one reference signal (RS) for a channel;

causing a wireless device to perform, based on a plurality of failures of a secondary cell, a failure recovery procedure for the secondary cell; and

based on the failure recovery procedure for the secondary cell being unsuccessful, stopping at least one of:

uplink reception via a bandwidth part of the secondary cell; or

downlink transmission via at least one downlink control channel of the secondary cell.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising receiving a measurement report associated with an RS received power (RSRP) of the at least one RS.

11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the failure recovery procedure is a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure, and
