Beam Failure Detection Monitoring

A method performed by a user equipment (UE) for beam failure detection (BFD) monitoring, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a network node, a configuration identifying one or more Layer 1/Layer 2 (L1/L2) inter-cell mobility candidate target cells;
• performing BFD monitoring on a current serving cell of the UE;
• determining BFD on the current serving cell;
• and
• performing beam failure recovery (BFR) on a beam on the current serving cell or a beam on one of the one or more candidate target cells, or executing L1/L2 inter-cell mobility to a beam on one of the one or more candidate target cells.

A user equipment (UE) for beam failure detection (BFD) monitoring, the UE comprising a processor and a memory, the memory containing instructions executable by the processor such that the UE is operable to:

• receive, from a network node, a configuration identifying one or more Layer 1/Layer 2 (L1/L2) inter-cell mobility candidate target cells;
• perform BFD monitoring on a current serving cell of the UE;
• determine BFD on the current serving cell;
• and
• perform BFR on a beam on the current serving cell or a beam on one of the one or more candidate target cells, or execute L1/L2 inter-cell mobility to a beam on one of the one or more candidate target cells.
