Link quality monitoring, signaling and procedures for specific service type

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor,
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor to cause the apparatus to:
• identify one or more first metrics associated with a radio link monitoring (RLM) procedure on a radio link comprising one or more component carriers;
• identify one or more second metrics associated with a procedure for monitoring whether communications of a first service type or having a first quality of service requirement are supportable;
• monitor the radio link, based at least in part on the one or more first metrics, to assess for radio link failure;
• monitor at least a portion of the radio link, based at least in part on the one or more second metrics, to assess the portion of the radio link for communications of the first service type or having the first quality of service requirement separate from the assessment for radio link failure;
• determine that at least a component carrier of the radio link fails to satisfy the one or more second metrics, wherein the component carrier is included in the portion of the radio link monitored based at least on the one or more second metrics;
• and
• update the radio link based at least in part on the determination without declaring radio link failure.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for identifying one or more first metrics associated with a radio link monitoring (RLM) procedure on a radio link comprising one or more component carriers;
• means for identifying one or more second metrics associated with a procedure for monitoring whether communications of a first service type or having a first quality of service requirement are supportable;
• means for monitoring the radio link, based at least in part on the one or more first metrics, to assess for radio link failure;
• means for monitoring at least a portion of the radio link, based at least in part on the one or more second metrics, to assess the portion of the radio link for communications of the first service type or having the first quality of service requirement separate from the assessment for radio link failure;
• means for determining that at least a component carrier of the radio link fails to satisfy the one or more second metrics, wherein the component carrier is included in the portion of the radio link monitored based at least on the one or more second metrics;
• and
• means for updating the radio link based at least in part on the determination without declaring radio link failure.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code for wireless communication, the code comprising instructions executable by a processor to:

• identify one or more first metrics associated with a radio link monitoring (RLM) procedure on a radio link comprising one or more component carriers;
• identify one or more second metrics associated with a procedure for monitoring whether communications of a first service type or having a first quality of service requirement are supportable;
• monitor the radio link, based at least in part on the one or more first metrics, to assess for radio link failure;
• monitor at least a portion of the radio link, based at least in part on the one or more second metrics, to assess the portion of the radio link for communications of the first service type or having the first quality of service requirement separate from the assessment for radio link failure;
• determine that at least a component carrier of the radio link fails to satisfy the one or more second metrics, wherein the component carrier is included in the portion of the radio link monitored based at least on the one or more second metrics;
• and
• update the radio link based at least in part on the determination without declaring radio link failure.
