Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for beam failure recovery in wireless communications. A plurality of candidate beams may be selected for beam failure recovery. After sending a first signal associated with a first candidate beam for beam failure recovery, the wireless device may send a second signal associated with a second candidate beam for beam failure recovery.

Claims (38)

1 . A method comprising:

determining, based on measurement of a plurality of candidate reference signals (RSs), at least two candidate RSs of the plurality of candidate RSs;

sending, via a first random access channel (RACH) resource associated with a first candidate reference signal (RS) of the at least two candidate RSs, a first preamble for a random access procedure;

sending, via a second RACH resource associated with a second candidate RS of the at least two candidate RSs, a second preamble for the random access procedure; and

receiving, using the second candidate RS, a random access response.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

monitoring, before the receiving the random access response and using the second candidate RS, a downlink control channel for downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the random access response.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a beam failure of a cell associated with the first candidate RS and with the second candidate RS, wherein the random access procedure is based on the determined beam failure.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the at least two candidate RSs comprises determining that a measurement threshold is satisfied by each of the at least two candidate RSs.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein the measurement threshold indicates a value associated with a measured RS received power (RSRP).

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the at least two candidate RSs is further based on a time difference between reception of the first candidate RS and reception of the second candidate RS.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the at least two candidate RSs is further based on a time difference between a first transmission time interval (TTI) associated with the first candidate RS and a second TTI associated with the second candidate RS.

8 . A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

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

determine, based on measurement of a plurality of candidate reference signals (RSs), at least two candidate RSs of the plurality of candidate RSs;

send, via a first random access channel (RACH) resource associated with a first candidate reference signal (RS) of the at least two candidate RSs, a first preamble for a random access procedure;

send, via a second RACH resource associated with a second candidate RS of the at least two candidate RSs, a second preamble for the random access procedure; and

receive, using the second candidate RS, a random access response.

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

monitor, before the receiving the random access response and using the second candidate RS, a downlink control channel for downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the random access response.

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

determine a beam failure of a cell associated with the first candidate RS and with the second candidate RS, wherein the random access procedure is based on the determined beam failure.

11 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to determine the at least two candidate RSs by determining that a measurement threshold is satisfied by each of the at least two candidate RSs.

12 . The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the measurement threshold indicates a value associated with a measured RS received power (RSRP).

13 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to determine the at least two candidate RSs further based on a time difference between reception of the first candidate RS and reception of the second candidate RS.

14 . The wireless device of claim 8 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the wireless device to determine the at least two candidate RSs further based on a time difference between a first transmission time interval (TTI) associated with the first candidate RS and a second TTI associated with the second candidate RS.

15 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause:

determining, based on measurement of a plurality of candidate reference signals (RSs), at least two candidate RSs of the plurality of candidate RSs;

sending, via a first random access channel (RACH) resource associated with a first candidate reference signal (RS) of the at least two candidate RSs, a first preamble for a random access procedure;

sending, via a second RACH resource associated with a second candidate RS of the at least two candidate RSs, a second preamble for the random access procedure; and

receiving, using the second candidate RS, a random access response.

16 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause monitoring, before the receiving the random access response and using the second candidate RS, a downlink control channel for downlink control information (DCI) scheduling the random access response.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further cause determining a beam failure of a cell associated with the first candidate RS and with the second candidate RS, and wherein the random access procedure is based on the determined beam failure.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause determining the at least two candidate RSs by determining that a measurement threshold is satisfied by each of the at least two candidate RSs.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the measurement threshold indicates a value associated with a measured RS received power (RSRP).

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions, when executed, cause determining the at least two candidate RSs further based on a time difference between reception of the first candidate RS and reception of the second candidate RS.
