TECHNIQUES FOR BEAM FAILURE DETECTION REFERENCE SIGNALS

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may communicate with multiple transmission reception points (TRPs). The UE may receive control signaling indicating a reference signal configuration. The reference signal configuration, the control signaling, or both may indicate one or more beam failure detection (BFD) reference signals and a quasi co-location (QCL) type associated with a set of BFD reference signal sets. Each BFD reference signal set of the set of BFD reference signal sets may be associated with a respective TRP. The UE may detect a beam failure based on receiving a BFD reference signal set using one or more beams according to the QCL type associated with the BFD reference signal set. The UE may initiate a beam failure recovery procedure based on detecting the beam failure.
