Abstract
A method and apparatus () for beam failure management for a user equipment (UE) () are described. A beam failure instance counter (BFI_counter) is determined, that is indicative of a number of consecutive beam failure instances occurred at the UE (), at a time instance. A location of the UE () is determined at the time instance. A beam failure probability factor is determined, based at least on the location of the UE () at the time instance and the BFI_counter. The beam failure probability factor is indicative of a probability of occurrence of a beam failure at the location of the UE (), after a plurality of further time instances. Further, the beam failure probability factor is compared with a beam failure threshold probability (beamFailureThresholdProb). Thereafter, a beam failure is declared if the beam failure probability factor is higher than the beamFailureThresholdProb.
