Radio link monitoring based on multiple reference signals

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

• means for receiving, from a base station serving the UE, a first type of reference signal and a second type of reference signal;
• means for receiving, from the base station, a radio link monitoring (RLM) configuration comprising a first signal quality threshold and an indicator that the UE is to apply, in an RLM function, the first signal quality threshold to at least one of the first type of reference signal or the second type of reference signal;
• means for determining a first signal quality of the first type of reference signal and a second signal quality of the second type of reference signal;
• means for determining whether the UE is in-sync or out-of-sync for communication with the base station based at least in part on the RLM function and at least one of the first signal quality or the second signal quality;
• and
• means for communicating with the base station based at least in part on the determination of whether the UE is in-sync or out-of-sync.

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

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, from a base station serving the UE, a first type of reference signal and a second type of reference signal;
• receive, from the base station, a radio link monitoring (RLM) configuration comprising a first signal quality threshold and an indicator that the UE is to apply, in an RLM function, the first signal quality threshold to at least one of the first type of reference signal or the second type of reference signal;
• determine a first signal quality of the first type of reference signal and a second signal quality of the second type of reference signal;
• determine whether the UE is in-sync or out-of-sync for communication with the base station based at least in part on the RLM function and at least one of the first signal quality or the second signal quality;
• and
• communicate with the base station based at least in part on the determination of whether the UE is in-sync or out-of-sync.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing code for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• receive, from a base station serving the UE, a first type of reference signal and a second type of reference signal;
• receive, from the base station, a radio link monitoring (RLM) configuration comprising a first signal quality threshold and an indicator that the UE is to apply, in an RLM function, the first signal quality threshold to at least one of the first type of reference signal or the second type of reference signal;
• determine a first signal quality of the first type of reference signal and a second signal quality of the second type of reference signal;
• determine whether the UE is in-sync or out-of-sync for communication with the base station based at least in part on the RLM function and at least one of the first signal quality or the second signal quality;
• and
• communicate with the base station based at least in part on the determination of whether the UE is in-sync or out-of-sync.
