1. A method performed by a first user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving an indication of a threshold number of consecutive discontinuous indications;
counting a number of a plurality of consecutive discontinuous indications in feedback reception occasions with a second UE by incrementing a counter in response to each consecutive discontinuous indication of the plurality of consecutive discontinuous indications, wherein each discontinuous indication of the plurality of consecutive discontinuous indications comprises an absence of feedback reception at an occasion in which feedback is scheduled;
comparing a value of the counter to the threshold number of consecutive discontinuous indications; and
solely in response to the value of the counter being equal to the threshold number of consecutive discontinuous indications, providing a radio link failure (RLF) indication to an upper layer of the first UE.
