1. A method of wireless communication performed by a first sidelink user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
establishing, with a second sidelink UE, a beamformed link;
transmitting, to the second sidelink UE, a periodic discovery and measurement timing (DMTC) configuration via the beamformed link;
transmitting, to the second sidelink UE, a plurality of transport blocks (TBs) via the beamformed link;
receiving, from the second sidelink UE, a plurality of ACK/NACK responses corresponding to the plurality of TBs;
incrementing a counter in response to a NACK of the plurality of ACK/NACK responses;
decreasing the counter in response to an ACK of the plurality of ACK/NACK responses;
transmitting, to the second sidelink UE, a periodic beacon signal based on the DMTC configuration; and
refraining from transmitting the periodic beacon signal in response to the counter satisfying a threshold.
