1. An apparatus for communications at a first device, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and configured to cause the first device to:
determine a configuration of a first transmission periodicity and at least one second transmission periodicity associated with a second device, the first transmission periodicity comprising a first period of time between one or more first instances of a measurement signal and the at least one second transmission periodicity comprising a second period of time between one or more second instances of the measurement signal;
select, for adjustment of a monitoring periodicity, a shorter monitoring periodicity of the first transmission periodicity or the at least one second transmission periodicity, the selection based at least in part on an error rate of a communication link between the first device and the second device being in excess of a threshold error rate, wherein the monitoring periodicity corresponds to a periodicity to monitor measurement signals associated with the second device; and
start a timer upon adjustment of the monitoring periodicity to correspond to the shorter monitoring periodicity of the first transmission periodicity or the at least one second transmission periodicity; and
monitor for one or more measurement signals over the communication link in accordance with the shorter monitoring periodicity, as selected, based at least in part on the timer being started.
