## Abstract

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE) includes measuring a signal strength of a beam failure detection (BFD) reference signal (RS), the BFD RS being included in a BFD RS set that corresponds to a transmission reception point (TRP) of a plurality of TRPs; the method further includes identifying a BFD threshold associated with the TRP, detecting a beam failure instance associated with the TRP based at least in part on a determination that the signal strength of the BFD RS satisfies the BFD threshold and, providing an indication of the beam failure instance associated with the TRP. Numerous other aspects are described.
