1. A method for beam failure management for a user equipment, UE, the method comprising:
determining a beam failure instance counter, BFI_counter, indicative of a number of consecutive beam failure instances occurred at the user equipment, UE at a time instance;
determining a location of the user equipment, UE at the time instance; and
determining a beam failure probability factor based at least on the location of the user equipment, UE and the beam failure instance counter, BFI_counter, wherein the beam failure probability factor is indicative of a probability of occurrence of a beam failure at the location of the user equipment, UE, after a plurality of further time instances.
