Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described that support beam failure identification and recovery is systems that may use beamforming for uplink and downlink transmission beams. A first beam and a second beam may be configured, and the second beam may be used to identify a failure of the first beam. Upon detection of a beam failure, a beam recovery procedure may be initiated in which an indication of a beam failure may be transmitted using scheduling request (SR) or uplink control channel resource. A base station in some examples may transmit an indication that one of a set of beams may have failed, and a UE may provide an indication of which beam of the set of beams failed, such as based on a received reference signal associated with one of the beams.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for wireless communication, comprising:\n identifying a first set of antenna ports for a first transmission beam and a second set of antenna ports for a second transmission beam, wherein the second set of antenna ports is different than the first set of antenna ports; measuring one or more signal characteristics of the second transmission beam; and triggering a beam recovery procedure for the first transmission beam based at least in part on the one or more measured signal characteristics of the second transmission beam, wherein the identifying the first set of antenna ports and the second set of antenna ports comprises: configuring the first set of antenna ports for transmission of a downlink transmission beam as the first transmission beam; and configuring the second set of antenna ports for transmissions of an uplink transmission beam as the second transmission beam, the uplink transmission beam including a reference signal that is derived from the first transmission beam.
