BEAM FAILURE RECOVERY OPERATION FOR DISCONTINUOUS RECEPTION MODE

Abstract:

Techniques to enable and provide beam failure recovery (BFR) operation for discontinuous reception (DRX) modes with wakeup signal (WUS) monitoring are described. DRX mode operation may be altered based on a BFR procedure implemented by a user equipment (UE). DRX mode operation may be altered for allowing a UE to start a DRX active time after transmitting a BFR request signal of a BFR procedure. Additionally or alternatively, DRX mode operation may be altered for allowing a UE to start an ON duration timer for a next DRX cycle after transmitting a BFR request signal of a BFR procedure. In another example, DRX mode operation may be altered for allowing a UE to monitor a BFR search space set regardless of DRX status, after transmitting a BFR request signal for a BFR procedure. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.
