## Abstract

The present application provides a method for enhancing reliability of wireless communication, comprising: monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), quality of downlink transmission between the UE and a base station (BS); and measuring, by the UE in response to a trigger event, transmission quality of at least one beam used for the downlink transmission between the UE and the BS, wherein the trigger event is used to indicate that quality of the downlink transmission between the UE and the BS does not meet a first preset condition. The present application further discloses another method for enhancing reliability of wireless communication and a related device and system. By means of the solutions disclosed in the present application, transmission quality of a beam used for uplink/downlink transmission between a BS and a UE can be non-periodically measured based on event trigger, which improves real-time performance of detection and greatly enhances reliability of wireless communication.
