1. A method comprising:
incrementing, by a wireless device, a beam failure instance counter based on detecting a first beam failure instance associated with one or more first reference signals (RSs) for beam failure detection;
receiving a medium access control control element (MAC CE) activating one or more second RSs for beam failure detection;
resetting the beam failure instance counter in response to receiving the MAC CE;
incrementing the beam failure instance counter based on detecting a second beam failure instance associated with the one or more second RSs; and
initiating a beam failure recovery based on the beam failure instance counter being equal to or greater than a first value.
