METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE TIMER Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC H04W74/08 

FIELD: instrument engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a timer control method applicable to user equipment (UE). The method includes: in response to the fact that the media access control layer receives an indication of a beam failure event transmitted by the physical layer, determining whether the value of the counting of the beam failure indication counter is greater than or equal to a predetermined value; in response to the fact that the count value of the beam failure indication counter is greater than or equal to a predetermined value, launching random access; determining whether to initiate the triggered random access; and, in response to determining that the triggered random access should be initiated, resetting or restarting the beam recovery timer after initiating the triggered random access.

EFFECT: eliminating the excessive use of resources for random access without competition.
