Claim 14:
15. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory comprising instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the apparatus to:
detect a beam failure associated with a reference signal from a network entity by detecting a first condition that reception of the reference signal is blocked for a first duration, wherein the reference signal is a synchronization signal block (SSB) or a channel state information (CSI) reference signal (RS),
transmit, to the network entity before initiating a beam failure recovery procedure, a request for a beam switch in response to the detected beam failure,
receive, from the network entity, an indication to communicate via a beam in response to the request, and
communicate with the network entity via the beam based on the indication.
