Reporting new beam information in a beam failure recovery procedure

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

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors to:
• identify one or more candidate beams available for communication between the UE and a base station (BS) to replace another beam that is configured for communicating between the UE and the BS;
• and
• transmit, based at least in part on identifying the one or more candidate beams, a communication that includes a new beam information (NBI) field and/or contents of the NBI field.

A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• detecting a beam failure of a beam that is used for communication between the UE and a base station (BS);
• identifying one or more candidate beams available for communication between the UE and the BS,
• wherein the one or more candidate beams are different from the failed beam;
• generating respective beam quality measurements for the one or more candidate beams based at least in part on one or more reference signals configured for the one or more candidate beams;
• and
• configuring a new beam information (NBI) field in a communication based at least in part on whether the respective beam quality measurements satisfy a beam quality threshold configured for the one or more reference signals.
