Abstract
Embodiments include methods for a user equipment (UE) configured to communicate with a wireless network via a master cell group (MCG) and a secondary cell group (SCG). Such methods include entering a reduced-energy mode for the SCG responsive to receiving a first command via the MCG or the SCG; and while in the reduced-energy mode for the SCG and in a activated mode for the MCG, performing beam failure detection (BFD) for the SCG and refraining from performing one or more beam management operations for the SCG. In some embodiments, the UE can perform various operations after detecting a beam failure in the SCG while in the reduced-energy mode for the SCG. Other embodiments include complementary methods for network nodes configured to provide the MCG or the SCG, and UEs and network nodes configured to perform such methods.
