Efficient RLM/BFD Measurement in Connected Mode

摘要

Methods are proposed for UE to perform radio link monitoring (RLM) and beam failure detection (BFD) measurements in a relaxed measurement state with an extended evaluation period for power saving. Different criteria for UE to enter and exit the relaxed RLM/BFD measurement state are proposed. In relaxed measurement state, UE can perform RLM/BFD measurements with an extended evaluation period by a scaling factor K when the serving cell quality is higher than a threshold and/or when the serving cell quality variation is lower than a threshold within a time period.
