As shown by reference number 710, the transmitter device 705 may transmit, and the UE 120-1 may receive, information to be used by the UE 120-1 to determine a channel sensing mode to be used by the UE 120-1. For example, the UE 120-1 may be configured with a plurality of channel sensing modes for selecting resources on a sidelink channel, such as the full channel sensing mode, the on-demand channel sensing mode, and/or the random selection mode described above in connection with FIG. 6, among other examples. In some aspects, the transmitter device 705 may transmit a configuration indicating the plurality of channel sensing modes to the UE 120-1. In some aspects, the plurality of channel sensing modes may be configured (or pre-configured) in the UE 120-1. For example, the UE 120-1 may identify one or more channel sensing modes based at least in part on receiving a resource pool configuration (e.g., a configuration transmitted to indicating or defining a resource pool) and/or based at least a pre-configuration stored by the UE 120-1. The pre-configuration may be associated with information or channel sensing modes defined, or otherwise fixed, by a wireless communication standard, such as the 3GPP.
