Beam failure reporting with event identification in a wireless communication system

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

• receiving, from a network node, one or more reference signals associated with a plurality of downlink communication beams;
• transmitting, to the network node, a control message indicating a selection of a downlink communication beam of the plurality of downlink communication beams;
• receiving, from the network node, one or more downlink messages via the downlink communication beam;
• and
• transmitting a beam failure report (BFR) message associated with a beam failure event associated with the downlink communication beam, the BFR message including an event identifier (ID) associated with a time of the beam failure event.

A network node comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory, the at least one processor operable to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), one or more reference signals associated with a plurality of downlink communication beams;
• receive, from the UE, a control message indicating a selection of a downlink communication beam of the plurality of downlink communication beams;
• transmit, to the UE, one or more downlink messages via the downlink communication beam;
• and
• receive a beam failure report (BFR) message associated with a beam failure event associated with the downlink communication beam, the BFR message including an event identifier (ID) associated with a time of the beam failure event.
