Techniques for determining beam failure or radio link failure

A method for wireless communication at a network device, comprising:

• transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), a downlink transmission comprising a first indication of a first radio link monitoring configuration associated with radio link monitoring over at least a duration that a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process is enabled, a second radio link monitoring configuration associated with radio link monitoring over at least a duration that the HARQ process is disabled, or both;
• transmitting, to the UE, one or more reference signals based at least in part on the first indication of the first radio link monitoring configuration, the second radio link monitoring configuration, or both;
• and
• receiving, from the UE, a measurement report based at least in part on transmitting the one or more reference signals, the measurement report based at least in part on the first radio link monitoring configuration, the second radio link monitoring configuration, or both, the measurement report comprising a second indication of a radio link failure, a beam failure, or both.

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

• a processor;
• memory coupled with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory and operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the apparatus to:
• select a radio link monitoring configuration from a first radio link monitoring configuration associated with radio link monitoring over at least a duration that a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) process is enabled and a second radio link monitoring configuration associated with radio link monitoring over at least a duration that the HARQ process is disabled;
• monitor one or more reference signals using the selected radio link monitoring configuration;
• determine a radio link failure, a beam failure, or both has occurred based at least in part on monitoring the one or more reference signals using the selected radio link monitoring configuration;
• and
• transmit a measurement report based at least in part on determining the radio link failure, the beam failure, or both has occurred.
