Claim 16:
17. An access node (AN), comprising:
radio front end circuitry; and
processor circuitry coupled to the radio front end circuitry, and configured to:
generate a radio link monitoring (RLM) or beam failure detection (BFD) reference signal (RS) configuration that indicates a target RLM/BFD RS for monitoring radio link or detecting beam failure;
transmit the RLM/BFD RS configuration to a user equipment (UE);
generate one or more tracking reference signal (TRS) configurations indicating one or more TRS; and
transmit the one or more TRS configurations to the UE, wherein at least one of the one or more TRS is quasi co-located (QCLed) with the target RLM/BFD RS.
