Multi-TRP Beam Failure Recovery Priority in Uplink MAC Scheduling

The patent applies local quality by assigning different priority levels to different types of BFR MAC CEs. Specifically, BFR MAC CEs for multi-TRP are assigned a lower priority than BFR MAC CEs for cell-level beam failure. This allows the system to treat different BFR scenarios differently, ensuring that cell-level BFR (which is more critical) receives higher priority resource allocation while multi-TRP BFR can be deferred, thereby resolving the contradiction between independent BFR triggering and system performance.

The patent implements local quality by creating a differentiated priority structure within the MAC CE hierarchy. Instead of treating all MAC CEs uniformly, the patent specifically assigns lower priority to multi-TRP BFR MAC CEs compared to other MAC CEs including cell-level BFR MAC CEs. This localized differentiation in priority assignment ensures that urgent data and critical control elements receive timely resource allocation while maintaining a manageable resource assignment framework.

The patent applies parameter changes by modifying the priority parameter of multi-TRP BFR MAC CEs. By changing the priority level from equal to lower than cell-level BFR MAC CEs, the system effectively controls the trigger frequency behavior. This parameter adjustment allows multiple reference signal resource sets to be monitored for reliable multi-TRP BFR detection while preventing excessive triggering by ensuring that only genuinely critical failures consume uplink resources immediately.
