Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A first wireless device may determine an energy pattern corresponding to a characteristic of the first wireless device. The energy pattern may include at least two sub-periods of different energy levels. The first wireless device may transmit the energy pattern on a channel (e.g., an unlicensed channel) prior to transmitting a first message on the channel to indicate the upcoming message to other devices. A second wireless device may monitor the channel during energy detection intervals and may detect the energy pattern. The second wireless device may determine the characteristic of the first wireless device based on detecting the energy pattern and may modify timing for transmission of a second message on the channel based on determining the characteristic. The first wireless device may transmit the first message on the channel based on transmitting the energy pattern.
