Claim 16:
17. A beam failure detection (BFD) method, applied to user equipment (UE), comprising:
assessing, by a radio frequency (RF) signal processing device of the UE, a first radio link quality according to a first BFD-reference signal (BFD-RS) set comprising at least one reference signal;
when the first radio link quality is below a threshold, generating, by the processor, a first indication, wherein the first indication is a first beam failure instance (BFI) or the first BFD-RS set; and
enabling, by the processor, a first timer and a first counter according to the first indication,
wherein the BFD method further comprises:
transmitting, by the RF signal processing device, a first scheduling request for a beam failure recovery (BFR), wherein the first scheduling request is associated with the first BFD-RS set,
wherein the first indication with a periodicity determined by the maximum between the shortest periodicity of the at least one reference signal and a fixed value.
