1. A method, comprising:
monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), at least a subset of reference signal(s);
incrementing, by the UE, a beam failure indication (BFI) counter each time a reference signal received power (RSRP) measurement of the subset of reference signal(s) is worse than an RSRP threshold, after a measurement period determined by a maximum of a shortest period of the subset of reference signal(s) and a specified time value; and
resetting, by the UE, the BFI counter in response to the BFI counter being less than a failure threshold upon expiration of an integer multiple of the measurement period.
