US Patent 10959284 Beam failure detection and indication in DRX mode

The apparatus configured to provide an enhanced power management solution, by configuring the UE to perform a Beam Failure Detection (BFD) procedure in view of the DRX configuration of the UE and a periodicity of reference signal(s) used to assess a radio link quality. The apparatus receives a DRX configuration having a DRX period comprising a DRX on duration and a DRX off duration. The apparatus then determines a beam failure indication period based on a periodicity for reference signals (RSs) configured for beam failure detection and a DRX period. Then, the apparatus performs a radio link quality measurement of at least one of the RSs based on the beam failure indication period determined by the UE.
