Beam failure detection with carrier aggregation in millimeter wave sidelinks

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

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• communicate with another UE over a sidelink according to an inter-band carrier aggregation configuration, wherein the inter-band carrier aggregation configuration includes one or more component carriers associated with a first frequency band and one or more component carriers associated with a second frequency band;
• and
• perform beam failure detection for one or more of a first beam associated with the first frequency band or a second beam associated with the second frequency band based at least in part on independent beam failure detection reference signals that are configured for the first frequency band and the second frequency band.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
• communicate with another UE over a sidelink according to an inter-band carrier aggregation configuration, wherein the inter-band carrier aggregation configuration includes one or more component carriers associated with a first frequency band and one or more component carriers associated with a second frequency band;
• and
• perform beam failure detection for one or more of a first beam associated with the first frequency band or a second beam associated with the second frequency band based at least in part on independent beam failure detection reference signals that are configured for the first frequency band and the second frequency band.
