1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
detect a first condition of the UE; and
perform one or more actions associated with coverage enhancement based at least in part on a measure of similarity between the first condition of the UE and a second condition of the UE associated with a past beam failure event, wherein the one or more actions include at least one of:
physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) repetition,
physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) repetition,
a change to one or more parameters for a channel state information (CSI) report,
a change to one or more parameters for a configured grant,
a change to one or more parameters for semi-persistent scheduling (SPS),
selection of a different format for a physical random access channel (PRACH),
selection of different frequency resources for the PRACH,
PRACH repetition over a plurality of random access channel (RACH) occasions, or
random access response (MSG2) PDCCH repetition.
