Claim 3:
4. An apparatus, comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories including computer program code,
wherein the one or more memories and the computer program code are configured, with the one or more processors, to cause the apparatus to:
determine, in response to a beam failure being detected for a serving cell that serves the apparatus, whether a timer is running; and
perform one of the following:
in response to the timer running, a beam failure recovery procedure with a target non-serving cell; or
in response to the timer not running, a beam failure recovery procedure with the serving cell, wherein
the one or more memories and the computer program code are further configured, with the one or more processors, to cause the apparatus to:
prior to the determining whether the timer is running:
determine whether an entering condition of a measurement event is fulfilled for a time-to-trigger or a second timer for the time-to-trigger has expired, wherein the measurement event is configured at least for the apparatus to measure one or more non-serving cells including the target non-serving cell; and
start the running of the timer in response to a determination the entering condition of the measurement event is fulfilled for the time-to-trigger or the second timer for the time-to-trigger has expired.
