In some aspects, the UE 120 includes means for determining a transmission priority level associated with the communication; means for determining whether the transmission priority level satisfies a threshold; and/or means for identifying the channel sensing mode, from the one or more channel sensing modes, based at least in part on the determination of whether the transmission priority level satisfies the threshold. In some aspects, the UE 120 includes means for obtaining, from a configuration, an indication of the threshold, where the threshold is a predefined threshold. In some aspects, the UE 120 includes means for determining the threshold based at least in part on a configuration transmitted to the UE.
In some aspects, the UE 120 includes means for determining a packet delay budget value associated with the communication; means for determining whether the packet delay budget value satisfies a threshold; and/or means for identifying the channel sensing mode, from the one or more channel sensing modes, based at least in part on the determination of whether the packet delay budget value satisfies the threshold. In some aspects, the UE 120 includes means for obtaining, from a configuration, an indication of the threshold, where the threshold is a predefined threshold. In some aspects, the UE 120 includes means for determining the threshold based at least in part on a configuration transmitted to the UE. In some aspects, the UE 120 includes means for determining a size of a channel sensing window associated with at least one of the one or more channel sensing modes; and/or means for determining the threshold based at least in part on the size of the channel sensing window.
