Beam failure recovery techniques

An apparatus for wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory coupled with the processor, the processor configured to:
• establish a wireless connection via a first beam pair link with a second wireless device;
• initiate, based at least in part on a communications failure with the second wireless device during a first communications period, a beam failure recovery procedure during a second communications period;
• communicate with the second wireless device using a second beam pair link during the second communications period;
• establishing, base at least in part on the beam failure recovery procedure, an updated first beam pair link;
• and
• resume communications, subsequent to the second communications period, using the updated first beam pair link.
