Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless node may monitor for a beam failure trigger condition on an uplink; detect, based at least in part on monitoring for the beam failure trigger condition, an uplink beam failure associated with the uplink; and trigger an uplink beam failure recovery procedure based at least in part on detecting the uplink beam failure associated with the uplink. Numerous other aspects are provided.
