Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device may identify a resource for wireless communication, the resource being in a first state where the resource is active for wireless communication and is inactive for a communication failure recovery procedure. The wireless device may determine that a communication failure has occurred during a first communication period. In some cases, one or more techniques for confirming the communication failure may be used to verify the failure. The wireless device may transition during a second communication period and based at least in part on the communication failure, the resource to a second state where the resource is inactive for wireless communication and is active for the communication failure recovery procedure. The wireless device may perform the communication failure recovery procedure using the resource transitioned to the second state.
