Based on the beam failure instance notification, the MAC layer may control the retransmission of the beam recovery request to the PHY layer.
- the gNB response window may share the same gNB response window by both the PHY layer and the MAC layer, or may have different gNB response windows.
- the window may be measured by, for example, a timer of the MAC layer and / or the PHY layer.

- the PHY sends a beam failure instance indication to the MAC. If a new candidate beam is found, the PHY sends state 1 to the MAC as a "beam failure instance with new candidate beam index". Selection of new candidate beam index for notification to MAC is based on UE implementation. If no new candidate beam is found, the PHY sends state 2 to the MAC as "a beam failure instance without a found new candidate beam”. If no beam failure occurs, the PHY sends state 0 to the MAC as a "non-beam failure".
- the MAC layer Add 1 to the beam failure instance counter (at MAC) when receiving beam failure instances (eg state 1 and state 2 (from PHY)). If a non-beam failure indication (eg, state 0 (from PHY)) is received, the beam failure instance counter (at the MAC) stops and resets the counter. The MAC triggers a beam recovery request transmission if the beam failure instance counter is greater than or equal to a preset number. The MAC performs selection of collision type PRACH or non-collision type PRACH for beam recovery request transmission. The counter may be replaced by a timer.
- Proposal 1 For beam failure detection in the beam failure recovery procedure, the consecutive number of beam failure instances are counted in the MAC layer.
- Proposal 2 For beam failure recovery, a different or the same new candidate beam may be indicated to the MAC, and PHY selects the beam to notify when multiple beams are above the threshold, new for beam recovery request transmission Selection of candidate beams is performed at the MAC layer.
- Proposal 3 Three notification states are defined. ⁇ Non beam failure ⁇ Beam failure instance + new candidate beam index ⁇ Beam failure instance + no new candidate beam found
- Proposal 4 Selection of a collision type PRACH or a non-collision type PRACH for beam recovery request transmission is performed by the MAC. If there are multiple new candidate beams notified by PHY, then MAC decides which beam to use for beam recovery request transmission. -If the selected beam is associated with a preset Contention-Free Random Access (CFRA), the MAC uses CFRA for beam recovery request transmission. If the selected beam is not associated with a preset CFRA, the MAC uses CFRA for beam recovery request transmission.
- CFRA Contention-Free Random Access
- ⁇ Advantage> Unified instruction content between PHY and MAC for beam recovery. Avoid redundant interactions between PHY and MAC. If no new candidate beam information is indicated to the MAC, the MAC will ask the PHY to provide new candidate beam information if the number of consecutive beam failure instances is greater than a preset number. More flexible to MAC to select the appropriate type for beam recovery transmission (eg, Contention-Based Random Access (CBRA) or CFRA). Beam recovery request being more flexible for MAC to select the appropriate beam for transmission. For example, two different new candidate beam indices may be provided by the PHY at different beam failure instances, and the MAC may select the more appearing beams for beam recovery request transmission. Reduce the complexity of the PHY by the counting being implemented in the MAC.
- CBRA Contention-Based Random Access
- GNB (gNodeB) response window is a time period for monitoring gNB response.
