  • Publication number: 20240088983
    Abstract: A wireless device receives one or more messages comprising a first parameter indicating a first maximum beam failure instance threshold and a second parameter indicating a second maximum beam failure instance threshold. The wireless device triggers a first beam failure recovery based on a first beam failure instance counter reaching the first maximum beam failure instance threshold.

  • Patent number: 11929946
    Abstract: A wireless device transmits, via a first uplink bandwidth part (BWP), a first preamble for a random-access procedure. A determination is made of a second uplink BWP for transmission of a second preamble for the random-access procedure. The determination is based on not receiving, via a first downlink BWP associated with the first uplink BWP, a random-access response corresponding to the first preamble. Based on the determination of the second uplink BWP, the first downlink BWP is switched to a second downlink BWP associated with the second uplink BWP. The second preamble is transmitted via the second uplink BWP.
