METHODS, INFRASTRUCTURE EQUIPMENT AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS FOR HANDLING BEAM FAILURES

Abstract:

A method of operating a first infrastructure equipment is provided. The method comprises communicating, signals representing data with a second infrastructure equipment over a first communications path optionally via one or more others of the infrastructure equipment acting as relay nodes, detecting that one or more of the beams used for communicating signals with a third infrastructure equipment satisfy a beam failure condition, determining, in response to detecting that the one or more of the beams satisfy the beam failure condition, that a beam failure notification is to be transmitted, the beam failure notification indicating that the one or more of the beams satisfy the beam failure condition, and transmitting the beam failure notification.
