Claim 5:
6. A method performed by a base station (BS) for wireless communication, the method comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a first radio resource control (RRC) configuration, the first RRC configuration configuring the UE with a radio link monitoring configuration that includes a beam failure detection (BFD) timer and a beam failure indication (BFI) count threshold, the first RRC configuration enabling the UE to:
start or restart the BFD timer by a medium access control (MAC) entity of the UE each time a BFI is received from a lower layer of the UE,
count a number of the received BFIs using a BFI counter, and
initiate a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure upon determining that a value of the BFI counter is greater than or equal to a value of the BFI count threshold; and

transmitting, to the UE, a second RRC configuration that reconfigures the UE with a second radio link monitoring configuration, the second RRC configuration enabling the UE to set the value of the BFI counter to zero in response to receiving the second RRC configuration.
