1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
measuring first channel characteristics of a serving beam according to a first periodicity associated with transmission of one or more reference signals using the serving beam, wherein the first channel characteristics of the serving beam are measured on a per synchronization signal block (SSB) basis;
selecting one or more candidate beams from a set of available beams for measurement according to the first periodicity, the one or more candidate beams selected based at least in part on a signal strength of beams of the set of available beams;
measuring second channel characteristics of each of the one or more candidate beams according to the first periodicity, wherein the second channel characteristics of the each of the one or more candidate beams are measured on a per synchronization signal block (SSB) basis; and
triggering a beam switch to a first candidate beam of the one or more candidate beams based at least in part on the first channel characteristics of the serving beam being below a threshold value.
