Techniques for radio link management

A method for wireless communication at a network device, comprising:

• transmitting an indication of a type of a beam failure recovery procedure, the type of the beam failure recovery procedure corresponding to whether a user equipment (UE) monitors active bandwidth parts and other bandwidth parts for a plurality of reference signals;
• transmitting to the UE an indication of a set of bandwidth parts the UE is to monitor as part of the beam failure recovery procedure, the set of bandwidth parts selected based at least in part on a location of the UE relative to coverage areas of beams associated with the set of bandwidth parts and comprising a bandwidth part associated with an active beam between the UE and the network device;
• receiving a random access message from the UE over the bandwidth part in the set of bandwidth parts;
• and
• establishing a connection with the UE over the bandwidth part based at least in part on a random access procedure triggered by the random access message.

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memories in electronic communication with the one or more processors;
• and
• instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
• receive an indication of a type of a beam failure recovery procedure, the type of the beam failure recovery procedure corresponding to whether the UE monitors active bandwidth parts and other bandwidth parts for a plurality of reference signals;
• determine a set of bandwidth parts to monitor based at least in part on the type of the beam failure recovery procedure, the set of bandwidth parts comprising a first bandwidth part associated with a failed beam between the UE and a network device;
• determine, based at least in part on monitoring the set of bandwidth parts, a subset of bandwidth parts from the set of bandwidth parts for the beam failure recovery procedure, the subset of bandwidth parts determined based at least in part on each bandwidth part in the subset of bandwidth parts being associated with at least one reference signal having a quality greater than or equal to a threshold quality;
• and
• attempt, as part of the beam failure recovery procedure, a random access procedure over a second bandwidth part of the subset of bandwidth parts.

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving an indication of a type of radio link failure detection procedure, the type of the radio link failure detection procedure corresponding to whether the UE monitors active bandwidth parts and other bandwidth parts for a plurality of reference signals;
• monitoring a set of bandwidth parts based at least in part on the indicated type of radio link failure detection procedure, the set of bandwidth parts comprising a bandwidth part associated with an active beam between the UE and a network device;
• generating internal indications for managing one or more radio link failure timers associated with the set of bandwidth parts based at least in part on the type of radio link failure detection procedure and monitoring the set of bandwidth parts;
• and
• determining a radio link failure status based at least in part on the one or more radio link failure timers.
