Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless device that operates in a wireless local area network may include an auxiliary radio and a main radio and may operate in both an auxiliary radio mode and a main radio mode. The auxiliary radio may support both transmitting and receiving or may support receiving only. The wireless device may indicate parameters associated with an auxiliary radio mode and/or with transitioning from the auxiliary radio mode to a main radio mode. The auxiliary radio may perform additional functions while the wireless device communicates with a second wireless device on a wireless link using the main radio. For example, the auxiliary radio may monitor channel metrics of the wireless link, receive and/or transmit control communications with the second wireless device, receive and/or transmit high importance data communications, or scan for and/or initiate connections via other wireless channels.
