1. A method, comprising:
transmitting, to a user equipment, an indication of a specified period for a beam failure detection timer, the beam failure detection timer being useable for beam failure detection at a higher layer of the user equipment based on beam failure instance indications from a lower layer of the user equipment; and
transmitting, to the user equipment, an indication of a beam failure instance threshold, wherein the specified period of the beam failure detection timer corresponds to one or more intervals for beam failure instance indications, and wherein the beam failure detection occurs when a number of beam failure instance indications reaches the beam failure instance threshold before expiry of the beam failure detection timer;
wherein the beam failure detection timer is configured to count the specified period corresponding to the one or more intervals for the beam failure instance indications.
