29. A method of wireless communication at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
transmitting, to an assisting node (AN), a request to access one or more assisting devices (ADs), the request based on an absence of at least one beam pair link (BPL) having a threshold quality of service (QoS) for a data radio bearer (DRB) with a second UE;
receiving, from the AN based on the transmitted request, an authorization to access the one or more ADs; and
exchanging, via a signaling radio bearer (SRB), beam training information with the second UE based on the authorization to access the one or more ADs for performing a beam training procedure via the one or more ADs.
 
30. A method of wireless communication at an assisting node (AN), comprising:
receiving, from a first user equipment (UE), a request to access one or more assisting devices (ADs) controlled by the AN, the request based on an absence of at least one beam pair link (BPL) having a threshold quality of service (QoS) for a data radio bearer (DRB) between the first UE and a second UE;
transmitting, to the first UE based on the received request, an authorization to access the one or more ADs; and
activating the one or more ADs to perform a second-stage BPL measurement between the first UE and the second UE via the one or more ADs and exchange beam training information over a signaling radio bearer (SRB).
