This article is focused on Radio Link Failure and Beam Failure in 5G.
General Information
- BF - Beam Failure
- BFD - Beam Failure Detection
- BFI - Beam Failure Instances
- BFR - Beam Failure Recovery
- RLM - Radio Link Monitoring
- RLF - Radio Link Failure
- CFRA - Contention Free Random Access Procedure
- CBRA - Contention Based Random Access Procedure
General Information
- Radio Link Failure is commonly known as RLF and an RRC Layer Procedure.
- Beam Failure is an MAC layer Procedure
- However both are dependent on physical layer for the indication to be received
- BFD and Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) have some similarities but are separate UE procedures
- Explicit configuration and implicit configuration both are possible for BFR
