Method for controlling beam failure recovery procedure, electronic device and storage medium

An apparatus for controlling a beam failure recovery procedure, comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• start a beam failure detection timer after beam failure is determined;
• trigger a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure after the beam failure is determined;
• monitor whether the beam failure detection timer times out after the BFR procedure is triggered and before the BFR procedure completes;
• and
• cancel or stop the BFR procedure when the beam failure detection timer times out;
• wherein the UE is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive state;
• wherein the processor is further configured to determine to delay execution of the BFR procedure after the BFR procedure is triggered;
• wherein the processor is further configured to perform one of:
• during delaying the execution of the BFR procedure, monitoring whether the beam failure detection timer times out, and canceling the BFR procedure when the beam failure detection timer times out;
• or
• during executing the BFR procedure responsive to reaching a delay duration, monitoring whether the beam failure detection timer times out, and stopping the BFR procedure when the beam failure detection timer times out.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium with a computer instruction stored thereon, wherein the computer instruction implements a method for controlling a beam failure recovery procedure when executed by a processor, and the method comprises:

• starting a beam failure detection timer after beam failure is determined;
• triggering a beam failure recovery (BFR) procedure after the beam failure is determined;
• monitoring whether the beam failure detection timer times out after the BFR procedure is triggered and before the BFR procedure completes;
• and
• canceling or stopping the BFR procedure when the beam failure detection timer times out;
• wherein the UE is in a discontinuous reception (DRX) inactive state;
• wherein the method further comprises:
• determining to delay execution of the BFR procedure after the BFR procedure is triggered;
• wherein monitoring whether the beam failure detection timer times out after the BFR procedure is triggered and before the BFR procedure completes, and canceling or stopping the BFR procedure when the beam failure detection timer times out comprises one of:
• during delaying the execution of the BFR procedure, monitoring whether the beam failure detection timer times out, and canceling the BFR procedure when the beam failure detection timer times out;
• or
• during executing the BFR procedure responsive to reaching a delay duration, monitoring whether the beam failure detection timer times out, and stopping the BFR procedure when the beam failure detection timer times out.
