FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

[0002] The following relates generally to wireless communications and more specifically to indication of user equipment (UE) capability for beam failure detection and beam management.

BACKGROUND

[0003] Wireless communications systems are widely deployed to provide various types of communication content such as voice, video, packet data, messaging, broadcast, and so on. These systems may be capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing the available system resources (e.g., time, frequency, and power). Examples of such multiple- access systems include fourth generation (4G) systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems, LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) systems, or LTE-A Pro systems, and fifth generation (5G) systems which may be referred to as New Radio (NR) systems. These systems may employ technologies such as code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), frequency division multiple access (FDMA), orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA), or discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DFT-S-OFDM). A wireless multiple-access communications system may include one or more base stations or one or more network access nodes, each simultaneously supporting communication for multiple communication devices, which may be otherwise known as user equipment (UE). [0004] In a wireless communications system utilizing beamforming, a UE and a base station may communicate using a number of uplink beams and downlink beams. To facilitate such communication, the UE may perform beam failure detection (BFD) and generate beam measurements on particular beams. Conventional BFD and beam monitoring techniques are deficient.

SUMMARY

[0005] The described techniques relate to improved methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses that support indication of user equipment (UE) capability for beam failure detection (BFD) and beam management. Generally, the described techniques provide for a UE to transmit a capability message to a base station to indicate a capability of the UE to monitor a defined number of link quality monitoring reference signal (RS) resources, a defined number of channel state information (CSI) measurement RS resources, a defined number of RS resources, a defined number of different active beams, or any combination thereof. In some cases, the capability may indicate a defined number (e.g., maximum) of resources or beams the UE is capable of monitoring or using for communication. Based on the capability of the UE, the base station may transmit a monitoring configuration to the UE that indicates a set of resources (e.g., link quality monitoring resources, CSI measurement RS resources, RS resources) or active beams for the UE to monitor in one or more component carriers (CCs) or to use for communication. The UE may monitor the defined resources or beams received in the monitoring configuration from the base station. In some examples, the UE may measure the resources for detecting beam failure, for reporting a measurement, or the like, to improve bean failure detection and beam management.

[0176] In some wireless communication systems, the complexity in performing beam failure detection (BFD) by a user equipment (UE) may be based on a defined number (e.g., a maximum number) of channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) resources or synchronization signal blocks (SSB)s across multiple component carriers (CCs) that the UE is capable of monitoring. BFD in conventional wireless communication systems may not account for how often the CSI-RS resources or SSB resources are to be monitored within a given time duration. As a result, a base station may attempt to configure the UE to monitor more resources within a given time duration than the UE is capable of monitoring, which may result in unsatisfactory performance. Further, beam management (BM) measurement complexity may be based on a maximum number of CSI-RS resources or SSB resources for layer 1 (e.g., LI) reference signal receive power (RSRP) (e.g., Ll-RSRP) across all CCs in a transmission time interval (TTI), such as a slot. Some BM measurement procedures may not include resources for LI signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (Ll-SINR) as an option for a reporting metric, as the BM procedure may only include resources for Ll-RSRP reporting as a metric. As such, interference may negatively impact data throughput and conventional procedures may lack a mechanism for reporting interference observed by a UE on a particular beam. Conventional procedures may also lack a definition for the duration in time of a TTI that prevent a UE from meaningfully reporting how many beams the UE supports, how many resources the UE may monitor, or the like, within a given time duration. Specifically, a universal definition of a TTI in cases of mixed numerologies across CCs may result in ambiguity of an indicated UE capability to monitor resources and/or a number of supported beams.

[0177] In some wireless communication systems, when a set of transmission configuration indicator (TCI)-state identifiers (IDs) for a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) are activated by a medium access control (MAC) control element (MAC-CE) for a set of CCs or bandwidth parts (BWPs) at least for the same frequency band, the applicable list of CCs may be indicated by radio resource control (RRC) signaling, and the same set of TCI-state IDs may be applied for the all BWPs in the indicated CCs. Applying the same set of TCI-state IDs for the all BWPs in the indicated CCs may result in ambiguity in the definition of the number of active downlink beams, uplink beams, or both, resulting in the wireless network in some cases exceeding the number of active downlink or uplink beams the UE is capable of simultaneously supporting for uplink or downlink transmissions.

[0178] Aspects of the disclosure are initially described in the context of wireless communications systems. Aspects of the disclosure are then described in the context of process flows. Aspects of the disclosure are further illustrated by and described with reference to apparatus diagrams, system diagrams, and flowcharts that relate to indication of UE capability for BFD and beam management.

[0179] FIG. 1 illustrates an example of a wireless communications system 100 that supports indication of UE capability for BFD and beam management in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. The wireless communications system 100 may include one or more base stations 105, one or more UEs 115, and a core network 130. In some examples, the wireless communications system 100 may be a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) network, an LTE-A Pro network, or a New Radio (NR) network. In some examples, the wireless communications system 100 may support enhanced broadband communications, ultra-reliable (e.g., mission critical) communications, low latency communications, communications with low-cost and low-complexity devices, or any combination thereof.

[0180] The base stations 105 may be dispersed throughout a geographic area to form the wireless communications system 100 and may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. The base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may wirelessly communicate via one or more communication links 125. Each base station 105 may provide a coverage area 110 over which the UEs 115 and the base station 105 may establish one or more communication links 125. The coverage area 110 may be an example of a geographic area over which a base station 105 and a UE 115 may support the communication of signals according to one or more radio access technologies.

[0181] The UEs 115 may be dispersed throughout a coverage area 110 of the wireless communications system 100, and each UE 115 may be stationary, or mobile, or both at different times. The UEs 115 may be devices in different forms or having different capabilities. Some example UEs 115 are illustrated in FIG. 1. The UEs 115 described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115, the base stations 105, or network equipment (e.g., core network nodes, relay devices, integrated access and backhaul (IAB) nodes, or other network equipment), as shown in FIG. 1.

[0182] The base stations 105 may communicate with the core network 130, or with one another, or both. For example, the base stations 105 may interface with the core network 130 through one or more backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an SI, N2, N3, or other interface). The base stations 105 may communicate with one another over the backhaul links 120 (e.g., via an X2, Xn, or other interface) either directly (e.g., directly between base stations 105), or indirectly (e.g., via core network 130), or both. In some examples, the backhaul links 120 may be or include one or more wireless links.

[0183] One or more of the base stations 105 described herein may include or may be referred to by a person having ordinary skill in the art as a base transceiver station, a radio base station, an access point, a radio transceiver, a NodeB, an eNodeB (eNB), a next- generation NodeB or a giga-NodeB (either of which may be referred to as a gNB), a Home NodeB, a Home eNodeB, or other suitable terminology.

[0184] A UE 115 may include or may be referred to as a mobile device, a wireless device, a remote device, a handheld device, or a subscriber device, or some other suitable terminology, where the “device” may also be referred to as a unit, a station, a terminal, or a client, among other examples. A UE 115 may also include or may be referred to as a personal electronic device such as a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer, a laptop computer, or a personal computer. In some examples, a UE 115 may include or be referred to as a wireless local loop (WLL) station, an Internet of Things (IoT) device, an Internet of Everything (IoE) device, or a machine type communications (MTC) device, among other examples, which may be implemented in various objects such as appliances, or vehicles, meters, among other examples.

[0185] The UEs 115 described herein may be able to communicate with various types of devices, such as other UEs 115 that may sometimes act as relays as well as the base stations 105 and the network equipment including macro eNBs or gNBs, small cell eNBs or gNBs, or relay base stations, among other examples, as shown in FIG. 1.

[0186] The UEs 115 and the base stations 105 may wirelessly communicate with one another via one or more communication links 125 over one or more carriers. The term “carrier” may refer to a set of radio frequency spectrum resources having a defined physical layer structure for supporting the communication links 125. For example, a carrier used for a communication link 125 may include a portion of a radio frequency spectrum band (e.g., a BWP) that is operated according to one or more physical layer channels for a given radio access technology (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-A Pro, NR). Each physical layer channel may carry acquisition signaling (e.g., synchronization signals, system information), control signaling that coordinates operation for the carrier, user data, or other signaling. The wireless communications system 100 may support communication with a UE 115 using carrier aggregation or multi-carrier operation. A UE 115 may be configured with multiple downlink CCs and one or more uplink CCs according to a carrier aggregation configuration. Carrier aggregation may be used with both frequency division duplexing (FDD) and time division duplexing (TDD) CCs.

[0187] In some examples (e.g., in a carrier aggregation configuration), a carrier may also have acquisition signaling or control signaling that coordinates operations for other carriers.

A carrier may be associated with a frequency channel (e.g., an evolved universal mobile telecommunication system terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) absolute radio frequency channel number (EARFCN)) and may be positioned according to a channel raster for discovery by the UEs 115. A carrier may be operated in a standalone mode where initial acquisition and connection may be conducted by the UEs 115 via the carrier, or the carrier may be operated in a non- standalone mode where a connection is anchored using a different carrier (e.g., of the same or a different radio access technology).

[0188] The communication links 125 shown in the wireless communications system 100 may include uplink transmissions from a UE 115 to a base station 105, or downlink transmissions from a base station 105 to a UE 115. Carriers may carry downlink or uplink communications (e.g., in an FDD mode) or may be configured to carry downlink and uplink communications (e.g., in a TDD mode).

[0189] A carrier may be associated with a particular bandwidth of the radio frequency spectrum, and in some examples the carrier bandwidth may be referred to as a “system bandwidth” of the carrier or the wireless communications system 100. For example, the carrier bandwidth may be one of a number of determined bandwidths for carriers of a particular radio access technology (e.g., 1.4, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 40, or 80 megahertz (MHz)). Devices of the wireless communications system 100 (e.g., the base stations 105, the UEs 115, or both) may have hardware configurations that support communications over a particular carrier bandwidth or may be configurable to support communications over one of a set of carrier bandwidths. In some examples, the wireless communications system 100 may include base stations 105 or UEs 115 that support simultaneous communications via carriers associated with multiple carrier bandwidths. In some examples, each served UE 115 may be configured for operating over portions (e.g., a sub-band, a BWP) or all of a carrier bandwidth.

[0190] Signal waveforms transmitted over a carrier may be made up of multiple subcarriers (e.g., using multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) or discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT- S-OFDM)). In a system employing MCM techniques, a resource element may consist of one symbol period (e.g., a duration of one modulation symbol) and one subcarrier, where the symbol period and subcarrier spacing are inversely related. The number of bits carried by each resource element may depend on the modulation scheme (e.g., the order of the modulation scheme, the coding rate of the modulation scheme, or both). Thus, the more resource elements that a UE 115 receives and the higher the order of the modulation scheme, the higher the data rate may be for the UE 115. A wireless communications resource may refer to a combination of a radio frequency spectrum resource, a time resource, and a spatial resource (e.g., spatial layers or beams), and the use of multiple spatial layers may further increase the data rate or data integrity for communications with a UE 115.

[0191] One or more numerologies for a carrier may be supported, where a numerology may include a subcarrier spacing (D/) and a cyclic prefix. A carrier may be divided into one or more BWPs having the same or different numerologies. In some examples, a UE 115 may be configured with multiple BWPs. In some examples, a single BWP for a carrier may be active at a given time and communications for the UE 115 may be restricted to one or more active BWPs.

[0192] The time intervals for the base stations 105 or the UEs 115 may be expressed in multiples of a basic time unit which may, for example, refer to a sampling period of T _s = l/(Af _max jV _· ) seconds, where f _max may represent the maximum supported subcarrier spacing, and JV- may represent the maximum supported discrete Fourier transform (DFT) size. Time intervals of a communications resource may be organized according to radio frames each having a specified duration (e.g., 10 milliseconds (ms)). Each radio frame may be identified by a system frame number (SFN) (e.g., ranging from 0 to 1023).

[0193] Each frame may include multiple consecutively numbered subframes or slots, and each subframe or slot may have the same duration. In some examples, a frame may be divided (e.g., in the time domain) into subframes, and each subframe may be further divided into a number of slots. Alternatively, each frame may include a variable number of slots, and the number of slots may depend on subcarrier spacing. Each slot may include a number of symbol periods (e.g., depending on the length of the cyclic prefix prepended to each symbol period). In some wireless communications systems 100, a slot may further be divided into multiple mini-slots containing one or more symbols. Excluding the cyclic prefix, each symbol period may contain one or more (e.g., Nf) sampling periods. The duration of a symbol period may depend on the subcarrier spacing or frequency band of operation.

[0194] A subframe, a slot, a mini-slot, or a symbol may be the smallest scheduling unit (e.g., in the time domain) of the wireless communications system 100 and may be referred to as a TTI. In some examples, the TTI duration (e.g., the number of symbol periods in a TTI) may be variable. Additionally or alternatively, the smallest scheduling unit of the wireless communications system 100 may be dynamically selected (e.g., in bursts of shortened TTIs (sTTIs)).

[0195] Physical channels may be multiplexed on a carrier according to various techniques. A physical control channel and a physical data channel may be multiplexed on a downlink carrier, for example, using one or more of time division multiplexing (TDM) techniques, frequency division multiplexing (FDM) techniques, or hybrid TDM-FDM techniques. A control region (e.g., a control resource set (CORESET)) for a physical control channel may be defined by a number of symbol periods and may extend across the system bandwidth or a subset of the system bandwidth of the carrier. One or more control regions (e.g., CORESETs) may be configured for a set of the UEs 115 For example, one or more of the UEs 115 may monitor or search control regions for control information according to one or more search space sets, and each search space set may include one or multiple control channel candidates in one or more aggregation levels arranged in a cascaded manner. An aggregation level for a control channel candidate may refer to a number of control channel resources (e.g., control channel elements (CCEs)) associated with encoded information for a control information format having a given payload size. Search space sets may include common search space sets configured for sending control information to multiple UEs 115 and UE-specific search space sets for sending control information to a specific UE 115.

[0196] Each base station 105 may provide communication coverage via one or more cells, for example a macro cell, a small cell, a hot spot, or other types of cells, or any combination thereof. The term “cell” may refer to a logical communication entity used for communication with a base station 105 (e.g., over a carrier) and may be associated with an identifier for distinguishing neighboring cells (e.g., a physical cell identifier (PCID), a virtual cell identifier (VCID), or others). In some examples, a cell may also refer to a geographic coverage area 110 or a portion of a geographic coverage area 110 (e.g., a sector) over which the logical communication entity operates. Such cells may range from smaller areas (e.g., a structure, a subset of structure) to larger areas depending on various factors such as the capabilities of the base station 105. For example, a cell may be or include a building, a subset of a building, or exterior spaces between or overlapping with geographic coverage areas 110, among other examples.

[0197] A macro cell generally covers a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by the UEs 115 with service subscriptions with the network provider supporting the macro cell. A small cell may be associated with a lower-powered base station 105, as compared with a macro cell, and a small cell may operate in the same or different (e.g., licensed, unlicensed) frequency bands as macro cells. Small cells may provide unrestricted access to the UEs 115 with service subscriptions with the network provider or may provide restricted access to the UEs 115 having an association with the small cell (e.g., the UEs 115 in a closed subscriber group (CSG), the UEs 115 associated with users in a home or office). A base station 105 may support one or multiple cells and may also support communications over the one or more cells using one or multiple CCs.

[0198] In some examples, a carrier may support multiple cells, and different cells may be configured according to different protocol types (e.g., MTC, narrowband IoT (NB-IoT), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)) that may provide access for different types of devices.

[0199] In some examples, a base station 105 may be movable and therefore provide communication coverage for a moving geographic coverage area 110. In some examples, different geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may overlap, but the different geographic coverage areas 110 may be supported by the same base station 105. In other examples, the overlapping geographic coverage areas 110 associated with different technologies may be supported by different base stations 105. The wireless communications system 100 may include, for example, a heterogeneous network in which different types of the base stations 105 provide coverage for various geographic coverage areas 110 using the same or different radio access technologies.

[0200] The wireless communications system 100 may support synchronous or asynchronous operation. For synchronous operation, the base stations 105 may have similar frame timings, and transmissions from different base stations 105 may be approximately aligned in time. For asynchronous operation, the base stations 105 may have different frame timings, and transmissions from different base stations 105 may, in some examples, not be aligned in time. The techniques described herein may be used for either synchronous or asynchronous operations.

[0201] Some UEs 115, such as MTC or IoT devices, may be low cost or low complexity devices and may provide for automated communication between machines (e.g., via Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication). M2M communication or MTC may refer to data communication technologies that allow devices to communicate with one another or a base station 105 without human intervention. In some examples, M2M communication or MTC may include communications from devices that integrate sensors or meters to measure or capture information and relay such information to a central server or application program that makes use of the information or presents the information to humans interacting with the application program. Some UEs 115 may be designed to collect information or enable automated behavior of machines or other devices. Examples of applications for MTC devices include smart metering, inventory monitoring, water level monitoring, equipment monitoring, healthcare monitoring, wildlife monitoring, weather and geological event monitoring, fleet management and tracking, remote security sensing, physical access control, and transaction- based business charging.

[0202] Some UEs 115 may be configured to employ operating modes that reduce power consumption, such as half-duplex communications (e.g., a mode that supports one-way communication via transmission or reception, but not transmission and reception simultaneously). In some examples, half-duplex communications may be performed at a reduced peak rate. Other power conservation techniques for the UEs 115 include entering a power saving deep sleep mode when not engaging in active communications, operating over a limited bandwidth (e.g., according to narrowband communications), or a combination of these techniques. For example, some UEs 115 may be configured for operation using a narrowband protocol type that is associated with a defined portion or range (e.g., set of subcarriers or resource blocks (RBs)) within a carrier, within a guard-band of a carrier, or outside of a carrier.

[0203] The wireless communications system 100 may be configured to support ultra reliable communications or low-latency communications, or various combinations thereof. For example, the wireless communications system 100 may be configured to support ultra reliable low-latency communications (URLLC) or mission critical communications. The UEs 115 may be designed to support ultra-reliable, low-latency, or critical functions (e.g., mission critical functions). Ultra-reliable communications may include private communication or group communication and may be supported by one or more mission critical services such as mission critical push-to-talk (MCPTT), mission critical video (MCVideo), or mission critical data (MCData). Support for mission critical functions may include prioritization of services, and mission critical services may be used for public safety or general commercial applications. The terms ultra-reliable, low-latency, mission critical, and ultra-reliable low- latency may be used interchangeably herein.

[0204] In some examples, a UE 115 may also be able to communicate directly with other UEs 115 over a device-to-device (D2D) communication link 135 (e.g., using a peer-to-peer (P2P) or D2D protocol). One or more UEs 115 utilizing D2D communications may be within the geographic coverage area 110 of a base station 105. Other UEs 115 in such a group may be outside the geographic coverage area 110 of a base station 105 or be otherwise unable to receive transmissions from a base station 105. In some examples, groups of the UEs 115 communicating via D2D communications may utilize a one-to-many (1 :M) system in which each UE 115 transmits to every other UE 115 in the group. In some examples, a base station 105 facilitates the scheduling of resources for D2D communications. In other cases, D2D communications are carried out between the UEs 115 without the involvement of a base station 105.

[0205] In some systems, the D2D communication link 135 may be an example of a communication channel, such as a sidelink communication channel, between vehicles (e.g., UEs 115). In some examples, vehicles may communicate using vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications, or some combination of these. A vehicle may signal information related to traffic conditions, signal scheduling, weather, safety, emergencies, or any other information relevant to a V2X system. In some examples, vehicles in a V2X system may communicate with roadside infrastructure, such as roadside units, or with the network via one or more network nodes (e.g., base stations 105) using vehicle-to-network (V2N) communications, or with both.

[0206] The core network 130 may provide user authentication, access authorization, tracking, Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity, and other access, routing, or mobility functions. The core network 130 may be an evolved packet core (EPC) or 5G core (5GC), which may include at least one control plane entity that manages access and mobility (e.g., a mobility management entity (MME), an access and mobility management function (AMF)) and at least one user plane entity that routes packets or interconnects to external networks (e.g., a serving gateway (S-GW), a Packet Data Network (PDN) gateway (P-GW), or a user plane function (UPF)). The control plane entity may manage non-access stratum (NAS) functions such as mobility, authentication, and bearer management for the UEs 115 served by the base stations 105 associated with the core network 130. User IP packets may be transferred through the user plane entity, which may provide IP address allocation as well as other functions. The user plane entity may be connected to the network operators IP services 150. The operators IP services 150 may include access to the Internet, Intranet(s), an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), or a Packet- Switched Streaming Service.

[0207] Some of the network devices, such as a base station 105, may include subcomponents such as an access network entity 140, which may be an example of an access node controller (ANC). Each access network entity 140 may communicate with the UEs 115 through one or more other access network transmission entities 145, which may be referred to as radio heads, smart radio heads, or transmission/reception points (TRPs). Each access network transmission entity 145 may include one or more antenna panels. In some configurations, various functions of each access network entity 140 or base station 105 may be distributed across various network devices (e.g., radio heads and ANCs) or consolidated into a single network device (e.g., a base station 105).

[0208] The wireless communications system 100 may operate using one or more frequency bands, typically in the range of 300 megahertz (MHz) to 300 gigahertz (GHz). Generally, the region from 300 MHz to 3 GHz is known as the ultra-high frequency (UHF) region or decimeter band because the wavelengths range from approximately one decimeter to one meter in length. The UHF waves may be blocked or redirected by buildings and environmental features, but the waves may penetrate structures sufficiently for a macro cell to provide service to the UEs 115 located indoors. The transmission of UHF waves may be associated with smaller antennas and shorter ranges (e.g., less than 100 kilometers) compared to transmission using the smaller frequencies and longer waves of the high frequency (HF) or very high frequency (VHF) portion of the spectrum below 300 MHz.

[0209] The wireless communications system 100 may also operate in a super high frequency (SHF) region using frequency bands from 3 GHz to 30 GHz, also known as the centimeter band, or in an extremely high frequency (EHF) region of the spectrum (e.g., from 30 GHz to 300 GHz), also known as the millimeter band. In some examples, the wireless communications system 100 may support millimeter wave (mmW) communications between the UEs 115 and the base stations 105, and EHF antennas of the respective devices may be smaller and more closely spaced than UHF antennas. In some examples, this may facilitate use of antenna arrays within a device. The propagation of EHF transmissions, however, may be subject to even greater atmospheric attenuation and shorter range than SHF or UHF transmissions. The techniques disclosed herein may be employed across transmissions that use one or more different frequency regions, and designated use of bands across these frequency regions may differ by country or regulating body.

[0210] The wireless communications system 100 may utilize both licensed and unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands. For example, the wireless communications system 100 may employ License Assisted Access (LAA), LTE-Unlicensed (LTE-U) radio access technology, or NR technology in an unlicensed band such as the 5 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band. When operating in unlicensed radio frequency spectrum bands, devices such as the base stations 105 and the UEs 115 may employ carrier sensing for collision detection and avoidance. In some examples, operations in unlicensed bands may be based on a carrier aggregation configuration in conjunction with CCs operating in a licensed band (e.g., LAA). Operations in unlicensed spectrum may include downlink transmissions, uplink transmissions, P2P transmissions, or D2D transmissions, among other examples.

[0211] A base station 105 or a UE 115 may be equipped with multiple antennas, which may be used to employ techniques such as transmit diversity, receive diversity, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, or beamforming. The antennas of a base station 105 or a UE 115 may be located within one or more antenna arrays or antenna panels, which may support MIMO operations or transmit or receive beamforming. For example, one or more base station antennas or antenna arrays may be co-located at an antenna assembly, such as an antenna tower. In some examples, antennas or antenna arrays associated with a base station 105 may be located in diverse geographic locations. A base station 105 may have an antenna array with a number of rows and columns of antenna ports that the base station 105 may use to support beamforming of communications with a UE 115. Likewise, a UE 115 may have one or more antenna arrays that may support various MIMO or beamforming operations. Additionally or alternatively, an antenna panel may support radio frequency beamforming for a signal transmitted via an antenna port. [0212] The base stations 105 or the UEs 115 may use MIMO communications to exploit multipath signal propagation and increase the spectral efficiency by transmitting or receiving multiple signals via different spatial layers. Such techniques may be referred to as spatial multiplexing. The multiple signals may, for example, be transmitted by the transmitting device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Likewise, the multiple signals may be received by the receiving device via different antennas or different combinations of antennas. Each of the multiple signals may be referred to as a separate spatial stream and may carry bits associated with the same data stream (e.g., the same codeword) or different data streams (e.g., different codewords). Different spatial layers may be associated with different antenna ports used for channel measurement and reporting. MIMO techniques include single-user MIMO (SU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to the same receiving device, and multiple-user MIMO (MU-MIMO), where multiple spatial layers are transmitted to multiple devices.

[0213] Beamforming, which may also be referred to as spatial filtering, directional transmission, or directional reception, is a signal processing technique that may be used at a transmitting device or a receiving device (e.g., a base station 105, a UE 115) to shape or steer an antenna beam (e.g., a transmit beam, a receive beam) along a spatial path between the transmitting device and the receiving device. Beamforming may be achieved by combining the signals communicated via antenna elements of an antenna array such that some signals propagating at particular orientations with respect to an antenna array experience constructive interference while others experience destructive interference. The adjustment of signals communicated via the antenna elements may include a transmitting device or a receiving device applying amplitude offsets, phase offsets, or both to signals carried via the antenna elements associated with the device. The adjustments associated with each of the antenna elements may be defined by a beamforming weight set associated with a particular orientation (e.g., with respect to the antenna array of the transmitting device or receiving device, or with respect to some other orientation).

[0214] A base station 105 or a UE 115 may use beam sweeping techniques as part of beam forming operations. For example, a base station 105 may use multiple antennas or antenna arrays (e.g., antenna panels) to conduct beamforming operations for directional communications with aUE 115. Some signals (e.g., synchronization signals, reference signals (RSs), beam selection signals, or other control signals) may be transmitted by a base station 105 multiple times in different directions. For example, the base station 105 may transmit a signal according to different beamforming weight sets associated with different directions of transmission. Transmissions in different beam directions may be used to identify (e.g., by a transmitting device, such as a base station 105, or by a receiving device, such as a UE 115) a beam direction for later transmission or reception by the base station 105.

[0215] Some signals, such as data signals associated with a particular receiving device, may be transmitted by a base station 105 in a single beam direction (e.g., a direction associated with the receiving device, such as a UE 115). In some examples, the beam direction associated with transmissions along a single beam direction may be determined based on a signal that was transmitted in one or more beam directions. For example, a UE 115 may receive one or more of the signals transmitted by the base station 105 in different directions and may report to the base station 105 an indication of the signal that the UE 115 received with a highest signal quality or an otherwise acceptable signal quality.

[0216] In some examples, transmissions by a device (e.g., by a base station 105 or a UE 115) may be performed using multiple beam directions, and the device may use a combination of digital precoding or radio frequency beamforming to generate a combined beam for transmission (e.g., from a base station 105 to a UE 115). The UE 115 may report feedback that indicates precoding weights for one or more beam directions, and the feedback may correspond to a configured number of beams across a system bandwidth or one or more sub-bands. The base station 105 may transmit a RS (e.g., a cell-specific RS (CRS), a channel state information RS (CSI-RS)), which may be precoded or unprecoded. The UE 115 may provide feedback for beam selection, which may be a precoding matrix indicator (PMI) or codebook-based feedback (e.g., a multi-panel type codebook, a linear combination type codebook, a port selection type codebook). Although these techniques are described with reference to signals transmitted in one or more directions by a base station 105, a UE 115 may employ similar techniques for transmitting signals multiple times in different directions (e.g., for identifying a beam direction for subsequent transmission or reception by the UE 115) or for transmitting a signal in a single direction (e.g., for transmitting data to a receiving device).

[0217] A receiving device (e.g., a UE 115) may try multiple receive configurations (e.g., directional listening) when receiving various signals from the base station 105, such as synchronization signals, RSs, beam selection signals, or other control signals. For example, a receiving device may try multiple receive directions by receiving via different antenna subarrays, by processing received signals according to different antenna subarrays, by receiving according to different receive beamforming weight sets (e.g., different directional listening weight sets) applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, or by processing received signals according to different receive beamforming weight sets applied to signals received at multiple antenna elements of an antenna array, any of which may be referred to as “listening” according to different receive configurations or receive directions. In some examples, a receiving device may use a single receive configuration to receive along a single beam direction (e.g., when receiving a data signal).

The single receive configuration may be aligned in a beam direction determined based on listening according to different receive configuration directions (e.g., a beam direction determined to have a highest signal strength, highest signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), or otherwise acceptable signal quality based on listening according to multiple beam directions).

[0218] The wireless communications system 100 may be a packet-based network that operates according to a layered protocol stack. In the user plane, communications at the bearer or Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer may be IP -based. A Radio Link Control (RLC) layer may perform packet segmentation and reassembly to communicate over logical channels. A MAC layer may perform priority handling and multiplexing of logical channels into transport channels. The MAC layer may also use error detection techniques, error correction techniques, or both to support retransmissions at the MAC layer to improve link efficiency. In the control plane, the RRC protocol layer may provide establishment, configuration, and maintenance of an RRC connection between a UE 115 and a base station 105 or a core network 130 supporting radio bearers for user plane data. At the physical layer, transport channels may be mapped to physical channels.

[0219] The UEs 115 and the base stations 105 may support retransmissions of data to increase the likelihood that data is received successfully. Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback is one technique for increasing the likelihood that data is received correctly over a communication link 125. HARQ may include a combination of error detection (e.g., using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)), forward error correction (FEC), and retransmission (e.g., automatic repeat request (ARQ)). HARQ may improve throughput at the MAC layer in poor radio conditions (e.g., low signal-to-noise conditions). In some examples, a device may support same-slot HARQ feedback, where the device may provide HARQ feedback in a specific slot for data received in a previous symbol in the slot. In other cases, the device may provide HARQ feedback in a subsequent slot, or according to some other time interval.

[0220] One or more UEs 115 and one or more base station 105 may communicate using beams in a beamforming wireless communication system. A UE 115 in a beamforming wireless communication system may perform BFD and beam monitoring. A UE 115 performing beamforming communications, including BFD and beam monitoring, may transmit a capability message to a base station 105. The capability message may indicate a capability of the UE 115 to monitor a defined number of link quality monitoring RS resources, a defined number of CSI measurement RS resources, a defined number of RS resources, a defined number of different active beams, or any combination thereof. Based on the capability of the UE 115, the base station 105 may transmit a monitoring configuration to the UE 115 that indicates a set of resources (e.g., link quality monitoring resources, CSI measurement RS resources, RS resources) or active beams for the UE to monitor and/or to utilize in one or more CCs. The UE 115 may monitor the defined resources or communicate using the beams indicate in the monitoring configuration.

[0221] FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a wireless communications system 200 that supports indication of UE capability for BFD and beam management in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, wireless communications system 200 may implement aspects of wireless communication system 100. UE 115-a may communicate with base station 105-a within coverage area 110-a using beamforming communications techniques. UE 115-a may transmit to base station 105-a using one or more uplink beams 210 (e.g., uplink beams 210-a, 210-b, and 210-c). Base station 105-a may communicate with UE 115-a using one or more downlink beams 205 (e.g., downlink beams 205-a, 205-b, and 205-c).

[0222] UE 115-a may perform BFD during communications with base station 105-a using uplink beams 210 and downlink beams 205. UE 115-a and base station 105-a may communicate over multiple different CCs and frequency ranges (e.g., FR1 and FR2). Each CC or frequency range may have a configured number of resources for different communication types, such as CSI-RS, SSBs, and other RSs. The number of resources for each type of communication and measurement may also vary over time. [0223] UE 115-a may be configured by the network (e.g., via signaling from base station 105-a) to monitor some or a combination of these resources to perform BFD. The monitoring of the resources for BFD may be based on a maximum number of CSI-RS resources, or SSBs for BFD, across multiple CCs, that UE 115-a is capable of monitoring within a given time duration (e.g., one or more symbol periods, slot, subframe, frame, etc.). The monitoring configuration 220 indicated by a base station 105-a may therefore be based on the UE capability to monitor CSI-RS and SSB resources within a given time duration. Although base station 105-a may configure a monitoring configuration 220 for UE 115-a, conventional systems do not consider how often CSI-RS resources or SSBs resources occur within a particular time duration, and may result in the UE 115-a being asked to monitor resources that exceed its capability.

[0224] For example, the complexity of beam failure recovery may be based on a maximal number of CSI-RS resources across all CCs in a system that UE 115-a may use to monitor for physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) quality. In another example, beam failure recovery may be based on a maximal number of different SSBs across all CCs for UE 115-a to use to monitor PDCCH quality. In another example, the beam failure recovery may be based on different CSI-RS resources or SSB resources across all CCs for new beam identifications. The beam failure recovery may be a CSI-RS based BFD where UE 115-a monitors a CSI-RS to determine whether beam failure has occurred.

[0225] For example, for a first CC, the candidate value may be set from 1 to 16. For a second CC, the candidate value may be set from 1 to 16. For a third CC, the candidate value may be set from 1 to 128. In some cases, UE 115-a may be mandated to support at least 64 CC candidate values. In some cases, there may be mandatory capability signaling for FR2 and optional capability signaling FR1. In some cases, UE 115-a may be mandated to support at least 32 candidate values for FR2.

[0226] In order to improve efficiency of beam failure recovery and ensure flexibility and adaptivity of the beam failure recovery configuration, UE 115-a may signal a defined number of resources that UE 115-a is capable of monitoring across a set of CCs within a given time duration (e.g., a slot), and the network (e.g., via signaling from base station 105-a) may configure UE 115-a to monitor the defined number of CSI-RS or SSB resources when UE 115-a performs BFD. The BFD complexity may be based on the maximum number of CSI- RS resources or SSBs resources for BFD or radio link monitoring (RLM) across CCs in a given time period. The resources may be for BFD, RLM, or both. The list of CCs may include serving CCs in all bands, CCs for a particular cell group, CCs for a particular frequency band, or an indicated CC list.

[0227] UE 115-a may additionally or alternatively perform beam management. The monitoring configuration 220 of the resources and procedures for UE 115-a to use for beam management and measurement may be indicated to UE 115-a through signaling over downlink beams 205 by base station 105-a. The beam management measurement complexity, depending on UE 115-a capabilities, may be based on a maximum number of CSI-RS or SSB resources for the Ll-RSRP across all CCs in a slot. In some cases, the beam management measurement configuration, as indicated by monitoring configuration 220, may only include resources to measure for Ll-RSRP and may not include resources to measure for Ll-SINR. If UE 115-a uses Ll-RSRP measurement and not Ll-SINR measurements, UE 115-a may not have an indication of potential interference on one or more beams, and UE 115-a may be constrained to report RSRP of the beam that does not indicate interference. Further, UE 115-a may measure Ll-RSRP over particular slots for beam management, and the slots may also not be specifically defined in cases of mixed numerologies across CCs.

[0228] For example, the maximum number of SSB resources or CSI-RS resources (e.g., for one transmission) across all CCs configured to measure Ll-RSRP within a slot may not exceed a particular configuration (e.g., MB_1). The particular configuration (e.g., MB_1) may be an example of capability signaling. For example, for a first CC 1, the candidate value set of MB_1 may be (0, 8, 16, 32, 64}. On the frequency band FR2, UE 115-a may be mandated to signal MB_1 > 8. On FR1, MB_1>8 may be supported by UE 115-a based on UE 115-a transmitting capability signaling indicating support by UE 115-a.

[0229] The available CSI-RS resources may be a sum of aperiodic, periodic, or semi- persistent resources, or a combination of one or more of these. Further, the maximum number of CSI-RS resources (e.g., a sum of aperiodic, periodic, and semi-persistent resources) across all CCs configured to measure the Ll-RSRP may not exceed MC_1. On a CC la, the candidate value set for MC_1 may be (0, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64}. In some examples, for FR1, UE 115-a may be mandated to report at least 8 as its capability signaling.

[0230] In another example, the maximum number of CSI-RS (e.g., two transmission resources) resources (e.g., a sum of periodic, periodic, and semi-persistent resources) across all CCs to measure Ll-RRP within a slot may not exceed MB_2. On this second CC, the candidate value set for MB_2 may be {0, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64}.

[0231] In some cases, there may be a supported density of CSI-RS resources. The maximum number of aperiodic CSI-RS resources across all the CCs configured to measure Ll-RSRP may not exceed MD_1. This candidate set may be a candidate value set of (“not supported”, “1 only”, “3 only”, “both 1 and 3”}. On FR2, UE 115-a may be mandated to signal either “3 only” or “both 1 and 3”. On FR1, either “3 only” or “both 1 and 3” may be mandatory for UE capability signaling, rather than both. For a fourth CC, the candidate value set for MD_2 may be (0, 1, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64}. For both FR1 and FR2, UE 115-a may be mandated to report at least 4.

[0232] Thus, UE 115-a may ensure a measurement of both power and interference by signaling a defined number of resources over which UE 115-a is capable of monitoring for Ll-RSRP and Ll-SINR across a set of CCs. The UE capability may be transmitted by UE 115-a in capability message 215. The monitoring configuration 220 may be transmitted by base station 105-a in response to capability message 215. Base station 105-a may configure UE 115-a to monitor no more than the defined number of resources in order for UE 115-a to perform beam management measurements.

[0233] The particular characteristics and boundaries of a slot in cases of mixed numerologies may be defined across CCs. In one option, the slot may be defined for all CCs with the same numerology. In a second option, the slot may be based on one numerology across all CCs available (e.g., the highest numerology). In another option, the slot may be defined as any set of overlapped time across CCs. In another option, the slot may be defined independent of any numerology, and the slot may be defined with an absolute time duration. The particular characteristics of the resources that UE 115-a is capable of monitoring, depending on the numerology and slot definition, may be indicated to base station 105-a through a capability message. The capability message may indicate the number of resources that UE 115-a is capable of monitoring in relation to the slot definition.

[0234] UE 115-a may also be able to support a set number of unique active uplink beams 210, and a set number of unique downlink beams 205. UE 115-a may indicate a capability to support the number of uplink beams 210 and downlink beams 205 in a capability message 215 transmitted to base station 105-a. Base station 105-a may respond with monitoring configuration 220, indicating to UE 115-a which beams to monitor for. [0235] FIG. 3 illustrates an example of a process flow 300 that supports indication of UE capability for BFD and beam management in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, process flow 300 may implement aspects of wireless communication systems 100 and 200. UE 115-b may communicate with base station 105-b in a beamforming communications system. UE 115-b may transmit an indication of UE capabilities to base station 105-b, and base station 105-b may transmit an indication of resources for UE 115-b to monitor based on the capabilities of UE 115-b. The techniques described herein may provide an occurrence frequency limit on BFD link quality monitoring RS resources across a set of CCs within a TTI to avoid exceeding the UE capability to monitor those resources.

[0236] At 305, UE 115-b may transmit a capability message that indicates a capability UE 115-b to monitor a defined number (e.g., a maximum number) of link quality monitoring RS resources across a set of CCs within a TTI. In some examples, the capability message may indicate a defined number of RS resources (e.g., CSI-RS resources), SSB resources, or both. UE 115-b may transmit the capability message that indicates the capability of UE 115-b to monitor the defined number of link quality monitoring RS resources that are new beam ID resources. UE 115-b may transmit the capability message that indicates the capability of UE 115-b to monitor the defined number of link quality monitoring RS resources across the set of CCs that are a set of serving CCs in a set of frequency bands.

[0237] In some examples, UE 115-b may transmit the capability message that indicates the capability of UE 115-b to monitor the defined number of link quality monitoring RS resources across the set of CCs that are a set of serving CCs in a cell group. UE 115-b may also transmit the capability message that indicates the capability of UE 115-b to monitor the defined number of link quality monitoring RS resources across the set of CCs that are a set of serving CCs in a single frequency band. UE 115-b may further transmit the capability message that indicates the capability of UE 115-b to monitor the defined number of link quality monitoring RS resources across the set of CCs and a CC list that identifies the one or more CCs within the set of CCs.

[0238] In some examples, UE 115-b may transmit the capability message that indicates the capability of UE 115-b to monitor the defined number of link quality monitoring RS resources across the set of CCs within the TTI that is a slot. The slot may be defined depending on numerologies across the CCs. [0239] At 310, UE 115-b may receive a monitoring configuration that indicates a set of link quality monitoring RS resources for UE 115-b to monitor in one or more CCs within the TTI based on the capability message. The link quality monitoring RS resources may include one or more RLM RSs. The link quality monitoring RS resources may also include one or more BFD RSs.

[0240] At 315, base station 105-b may transmit a set of RSs within the set of link quality monitoring RS resources indicated in the monitoring configuration. At 320, UE 115-b may monitor, within the TTI, the set of link quality monitoring RS resources indicated in the monitoring configuration.

[0241] When the UE 115-b detects beam failure based on a measurement of one or more of link quality monitoring RS resources, at 325, UE 115-b may transmit a beam failure message that corresponds to a first link quality monitoring RS resource of the set of link quality monitoring RS resources based on the monitoring. In some cases, after reporting beam failure on one or more beams, UE 115-b may receive a second monitoring configuration from base station 105-b that indicates a second link quality monitoring RS resource that differs from the first link quality monitoring RS resource. UE 115-b may communicate using a new beam corresponding to the second link quality monitoring RS resource, and may measure the second link quality monitoring RS resource for detection of beam failure, if any, on the new beam.

[0242] FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a process flow 400 that supports indication of UE capability for BFD and beam management in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, process flow 400 may implement aspects of wireless communication system 100. UE 115-c may communicate with base station 105-c in a beamforming communications system. UE 115-c may transmit an indication of UE capabilities to base station 105-c, and base station 105-c may transmit an indication of resources for UE 115-c to monitor base on capabilities of UE 115-c.

[0243] At 405, UE 115-c may transmit a capability message that indicates a capability of UE 115-c to monitor a defined number (e.g., maximum number) of CSI measurement RS resources for RSRP measurement, SINR measurement, or both, across a set of CCs within a TTI. In some cases, UE 115-c may transmit the capability message that indicates the capability of UE 115-c to monitor the defined number of CSI measurement RS resources that are RS resources, SSB resources, of both. UE 115-c may also transmit the capability message that indicates the capability of UE 115-c to monitor the defined number of CSI measurement RS resources that are aperiodic resources, periodic resources, semi-static resources, or a combination of these. UE 115-c may further transmit the capability message that indicates the capability of UE 115-c to monitor the defined number of CSI measurements RS resources that is a RSRP resources (e.g., a Ll-RSRP resource), a channel measurement report, an interference measurement report, or a combination of these.

[0244] At 410, UE 115-c may receive a monitoring configuration that indicates a set of CSI measurement RS resources for UE 115-c to monitor in one or more CCs within the TTI based on the capability message.

[0245] At 415, base station 105-c may transmit, within the TTI, a set of RSs within the set of CSI measurement RS resources indicated in the monitoring configuration.

[0246] At 420, UE 115-c may monitor, within the TTI, the set of CSI measurement RS resources indicated in the monitoring configuration. The RS resources may be for Ll-RSRP measurement, for a Ll-SINR measurement of a CSI-RS channel measurement resource (CMR), for a Ll-SINR measurement of an interference measurement resource (IMR), or a combination of these.

[0247] At 425, UE 115-c may transmit a beam measurement report indicating the at least one measurement that is the Ll-RSRP measurement, the Ll-SINR measurement of the CMR, the Ll-SINR measurement of the IMR, or a combination of these. The base station 105-c may receive the report and may utilize to configure which beams are used for communication with the UE 115-c. In some cases, the base station 105-c may maintain one or more currently configured beams, or may change one or more configured beams, based on the report.

[0248] FIG. 5 illustrates an example of a process flow 500 that supports indication of UE capability for BFD and beam management in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, process flow 500 may implement aspects of wireless communication systems 100 and 200. UE 115-d may communicate with base station 105-d in a beamforming communications system. UE 115-d may transmit an indication of UE capabilities to base station 105-d, and base station 105-d may transmit an indication of resources for UE 115-d to monitor base on capabilities of UE 115-d. In some cases, the UE 115-d may be configured to communicate with the base station 105-d over a set of CCs, and in some cases, the CCs may not all have the same numerology. The techniques described herein provide for definition of UE capability and for defining the duration of a TTI corresponding to the UE capability.

[0249] At 505, UE 115-d may transmit a capability message that indicates a capability of UE 115-d to monitor a defined number (e.g., a maximum) of RS resources across a set of CCs within a TTI and indicates a duration of the TTI, a first numerology of the first CC of the set of CCs being different than a second numerology of a second CC of the set of CCs.

[0250] In some examples, UE 115-d may transmit the capability message that indicates the duration of the TTI based on a subset of the set of CCs that have a same numerology. UE 115-d may transmit the capability message that indicates the duration of the TTI based on one numerology of the set of CCs. The one numerology may be a highest numerology of the set of CCs, or any other numerology.

[0251] UE 115-d may transmit the capability message that indicates the duration of the TTI based on a set of TTIs overlapping in time across the set of CCs. UE 115-d may transmit the capability message that indicates the duration of the TTI based on a reference time duration (e.g., an absolute time duration that is independent of any numerology). The set of RS resources may include RSs for link quality monitoring, one or more RLM RSs, one or more BFD RSs, RSs for CSI measurement, RSs for Ll-RSRP measurement, Ll-SINR measurement, or both, or a combination of these.

[0252] UE 115-d may support a particular density of these resources. For example, UE 115-d may support a maximum number of aperiodic CSI-RS resources across example slots in CCs 525, and UE 115-d may be configured to measure Ll-RSRP that may not exceed the UE capability for the numerology. UE 115-d may transmit the UE capability which may be in the form of a candidate slot as numbered from a candidate set. The candidate slot number may indicate the resources or numerology supported by UE 115-d. This candidate set may be a candidate value of a set of, for example, (“not supported”, “1 only”, “3 only”, “both 1 and 3”}.

[0253] At 510, base station 105-d may determine the definition of a TTI duration for the indicated UE capability. In some cases, the UE capability may be for a TTI having a duration defined for all CCs with the same numerology. In a second option, the UE capability may be for a TTI having a duration defined on one numerology across all CCs available (e.g., the highest numerology). In another option, the slot may be defined independent of any numerology, and the slot may be defined with an absolute time duration. In another option, the slot may be defined as any set of overlapped time across CCs. For example, CC0, CC1, and CC2 may have overlap in time and may have TTIs of different durations. In the depicted example, the TTI of CC0 may have a longest duration, the TTI of CC1 may be half the duration of the TTI of CC0, and the TTI of CC2 may be half the duration of the TTI of CC1. For overlapping TTIs of different durations, the base station 105-d may configure the UE 115-d up to its reported RS resource monitoring capability. For example, 7 TTIs fall within the duration of the TTI of CC0. If UE 115-d reports being capable of monitoring 7 or more RS resources, the base station 105-d may configure UE 115-d to monitor a RS resource in each of the 7 overlapping TTIs across CC0, CC1, and CC2. If UE 115-d reports being capable of monitoring 6 or fewer RS resources, the base station 105-d may configure UE 115-d to monitor no more than the reported number of RS resources across the 7 overlapping TTIs CC0, CC1, and CC2. For example, if UE 115-d reports being capable of monitoring 3 RS resources, the base station 105-d may configure UE 115-d to monitor 3 RS resources across the 7 overlapping TTIs CC0, CC1, and CC2 (e.g., TTI7, TTI5, and TT2).

[0254] At 515, UE 115-d may receive a monitoring configuration that indicates a set of RS resources for UE 115-d to monitor in one or more CCs within the TTI based on the capability message. The monitoring configuration may be determined by base station 105-d based on the information in the capability message. For example, for FR2 as described herein, and based on the capability message, UE 115-d may be configured, by base station 105-d to signal a particular CC or candidate slot value. For example, on FR2, UE 115-d may be configured to signal either “3 only” or “both 1 and 3”, in terms of which slot or TTI UE 115-d may measure based on the numerology of CCs 525. UE 115-d, for FR1, may be configured for either “3 only” or “both 1 and 3”. For a fourth CC, the candidate value set for MD_2 may be (0, 1, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64}. For both FR1 and FR2, UE 115-d may be mandated to report at least 4 candidate slots in this case of the fourth CC.

[0255] At 520, base station 105-d may transmit, within the TTI (e.g., one or more of slots 1 through 7 in CCs 525), a set of RSs within the set of RS resources indicated in the monitoring configuration. At 525, UE 115-d may monitor, within the TTI, the set of RS resources indicated in the monitoring configuration. In some cases, the UE 115-d may generate measurements of the RS resources for detecting whether beam failure has occurred, or for beam measurement reporting, as described herein. [0256] FIG. 6 illustrates an example of a process flow 600 that supports indication of UE capability for BFD and beam management in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure. In some examples, process flow 600 may implement aspects of wireless communication systems 100 and 200. UE 115-e may communicate with base station 105-e in a beamforming communications system. UE 115-e may transmit an indication of UE capabilities to base station 105-e, and base station 105-e may transmit an indication of resources for UE 115-e to monitor base on capabilities of UE 115-e. In some examples, base station 105-e may transmit control signaling (e.g., RRC signaling) that indicates a list of CC. When base station 105-e activates a set of TCI-state IDs for PDSCH by a MAC CE for a set of CCs or BWPs at least for the same band, where the applicable list of CCs is indicated by RRC signaling, the same set of TCI-state IDs are applied for all BWPs in the indicated CCs. The UE 115-e may report its capability to support a defined number (e.g., maximum) of unique beams for a group of CCs or BWPs. The techniques may provide for the UE 115-e to indicate a maximum number of supported active beams that avoids ambiguity, and the following techniques provide for defining the maximum number based on unique TCI state IDs, spatial relation information IDs, or both.

[0257] At 605, UE 115-e may transmit a capability message that indicates a capability of UE 115-e to monitor a defined number of different active beams across a set of CCs or a set of BWPs. In some cases, UE 115-e may transmit the capability message that indicate the capability of UE 115-e to monitor the defined number of different active beams that are one or more downlink beams (e.g., downlink beams 205), one or more uplink beams (e.g., uplink beams 210) or any combination of these.

[0258] The defined number of beams may be a maximum supported number of different active beams. In some cases, the maximum supported number of different active beams that are downlink beams may be defined based on a number of different activate TCI-state IDs. In some cases, the maximum supported number of different active beams that are downlink beams may be based on a number of different quasi co-location (QCL) RS IDs for a set of different activated TCI-states IDs. In some cases, the maximum supported number of different active beams that are downlink beams may be defined based on a number of different QCL RS IDs for a set of different activated TCI-state IDs.

[0259] In some cases, the maximum number of different active beams that are uplink beams may be defined based on a number of different activated spatial relation IDs that correspond to the set of active beams that are uplink beams. In some cases, the maximum supported number of different active beams that are uplink beams is defines based on a number of different spatial RS IDs for a set of different activated spatial relation IDs.

[0260] At 610, UE 115-e may receive a monitoring configuration that indicates a set of active beams for UE 115-e to monitor across one or more CCs or one or more BWPs based on the capability message. UE 115-e may receive the monitoring configuration that indicates a set of different activated TCI-state IDs that correspond to the set of active beams that are downlink beams. For example, the monitoring configuration may indicate one or more unique activated TCI state IDs to identify the one or more unique active downlink (DL) beams (e.g., unique active DL beams may be identified by unique activated TCI state IDs). In another example, the UE 115-e may also receive the monitoring configuration that indicates a set of different activated TCI-states IDs, where the set of active beams are downlink beams and correspond to a set of different QCL RS IDs for the set of different activated TCI-state IDs. The set of different QCL RS IDs may be a set of QCL Type-D RS IDs. For example, the monitoring configuration may indicate one or more activated TCI states, and the set of unique active downlink beams correspond to one or more unique QCL Type-D RS IDs in the one or more activated TCI states.

[0261] In another example, UE 115-e may receive the monitoring configuration that indicates a set of different activated TCI-state IDs, where the set of active beams may be downlink beams and may correspond to a set of different QCL RS IDs for the set of different activated TCI-state IDs. In some cases, the set of different root QCL RS IDs may be a set of different root QCL Type-D RS IDs in a QCL chain. For example, the monitoring configuration may indicate one or more activated states in a QCL chain, and the set of unique active downlink beams correspond to one or more unique root QCL Type-D RS IDs of the one or more activated TCI states in the QCL chain.
