The channel sensing mode identification component 1008 may determine a packet delay budget value associated with the communication. The channel sensing mode identification component 1008 may determine whether the packet delay budget value satisfies a threshold. The channel sensing mode identification component 1008 may identify 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. The reception component 1002 may obtain, from a configuration, an indication of the threshold, where the threshold is a predefined threshold. The channel sensing mode identification component 1008 may determine the threshold based at least in part on a configuration transmitted to the UE. The channel sensing mode identification component 1008 may determine a size of a channel sensing window associated with at least one of the one or more channel sensing modes. The channel sensing mode identification component 1008 may determine the threshold based at least in part on the size of the channel sensing window.
