Abstract

The disclosed subject matter provides techniques for detecting and correcting radio link failures based on the different usage scenarios. In one embodiment, a device is provided that comprises a processor, and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of various operations. These operations can comprise monitoring a quality of a radio link established between the device and a network device of a wireless communication network based on downlink transmissions received from the network device. These operations can further comprise determining whether the quality indicates the device and the network device are out-of-sync based on the quality being below a defined quality level, wherein the defined quality level varies based on a usage scenario associated with usage of the radio link by the device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device, comprising:
 a processor, and   a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 deactivating a radio link with network equipment based on a determination that a radio link failure has occurred; 
 determining time and frequency resources for a preamble transmission of a procedure for re-establishing the radio link with the network equipment based on a control channel resource set group applicable to the device, wherein the time and frequency resources for the preamble transmission vary for different control channel resource set groups; and 
 performing the procedure using the time and frequency resources for the preamble transmission. 
   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 prior to the deactivating, employing the control channel resource set group to decode downlink control information received from the network equipment.   
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the network equipment configures the different control channel resource set groups for different types of traffic. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the different types of traffic are selected from a group of types of traffic, the group comprising: a first type associated with enhanced mobile broadband traffic, a second type associated with ultra reliable and low latency traffic, and a third type associated with massive machine type communication traffic. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the procedure varies based on the control channel resource set group. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the procedure varies with respect to a timer associated with performance of the procedure. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the procedure varies with respect to a configuration parameter associated with resources used for the procedure. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein performing the procedure comprises sending information to the network equipment indicating a reason for the determination that the radio link failure occurred. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the reason varies based on the control channel resource set group. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 8 , wherein the procedure comprises a random access procedure, and wherein sending the information comprises sending the information in association with transmission of message  3  in accordance with the random access procedure. 
     
     
         11 . A method, comprising:
 deactivating, by a device comprising a processor, a radio link with network equipment based on a determination that a radio link failure has occurred;   determining, by the device, time and frequency resources for a preamble transmission of a procedure for re-establishing the radio link with the network equipment based on a control channel resource set group applicable to the device, wherein the time and frequency resources for the preamble transmission vary for different control channel resource set groups; and   sending, by the device, the preamble transmission to the network equipment using the time and frequency resources in association with performance of the procedure.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 prior to the deactivating, employing, by the device, the control channel resource set group to decode downlink control information received from the network equipment.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the network equipment configures the different control channel resource set groups for different types of traffic. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein different types of traffic are selected from the group consisting of: an enhanced mobile broadband traffic type, an ultra reliable and low latency traffic type, and a massive machine type communication traffic type. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the procedure varies based on the control channel resource set group. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 sending, by the device, information to the network equipment indicating a reason for the determination that the radio link failure occurred.   
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the reason varies based on the control channel resource set group. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the procedure comprises a random access procedure, and wherein sending the information comprises sending the information in association with transmission of message  3  in accordance with the random access procedure. 
     
     
         19 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor of a device, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 disassembling a radio connection with network equipment based on a determination that a radio link failure event has occurred;   determining time and frequency resources for a preamble transmission of a procedure for re-establishing the radio connection with the network equipment based on a control channel resource set group applicable to the device, wherein the time and frequency resources for the preamble transmission vary for different control channel resource set groups; and   sending the preamble transmission to the network equipment using the time and frequency resources in association with performance of the procedure.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 19 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 sending information to the network equipment indicating a reason for the determination that the radio link failure event occurred in association with transmission of message  3  in accordance with the procedure, and wherein the reason varies based on the control channel resource set group.
