US Patent 11889489 Beam failure detection and recovery

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for beam failure detection and recovery. An example method of wireless communication by a user equipment generally includes detecting a beam failure associated with a reference signal from a network entity and transmitting, to the network entity before initiating a beam failure recovery procedure, a request for a beam switch in response to the detected beam failure. The method also includes receiving, from the network entity, an indication to communicate via a beam in response to the request and communicating with the network entity via the beam based on the indication.
