Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for shared beam failure detection (BFD) and recovery. One apparatus includes a transceiver that receives a configuration from a radio access network (RAN) for a set of shared BFD reference signals (RS), where the set of shared BFD RS is quasi-co-located with a set of shared user equipment (UE) receive beams applicable to a group of UEs. The processor measures a signal strength on the set of shared BFD RS, increments a shared beam failure instance (BFI) counter if the measured signal strength is below a BFD RS threshold value, and also increments the shared BFI upon receiving a BFI indication from a UE in the group of UEs. The processor declares BFD for the group of UEs in response to the shared BFI counter reaching a maximum value of beam failure.
