RLM AND BEAM FAILURE DETECTION BASED ON A MIX OF DIFFERENT REFERENCE SIGNALS

摘要

A user equipment, UE, performs measurements based on a plurality of RLM sources received in beam-formed downlink signals, where the measurements indicate a quality of a given cell or beam. The plurality of sources comprises two or more of: first reference signals (RSs), second RSs of a different type than the first RSs, and one or more physical channel quality indicators obtained from non-reference-signal data in the beam-formed downlink signals. For each of the plurality of sources used to perform measurements, the UE determines whether a measurement for the respective source indicates an out-of-sync event in response to the measurement being below a first threshold. The UE then performs an RLM action based on determined occurrences of out-of-sync events.
