Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE) are described. A UE may identify a beam failure for at least one communication beam at the UE. The UE may determine the reasoning for the beam failure and may include the reasoning in a beam failure recovery (BFR) request. The UE may identify a sidelink relay UE to communicate via sidelink channel and transmit the BFR request to the network entity. The network entity may receive the BFR request from the sidelink relay UE and identify beam switching parameters based on the type of interference that caused the beam failure. The network entity may include the beam switching parameters in a BFR response to the UE. The UE may receive the BFR response and switch to another candidate beam to enable communication to the network entity.
