## Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may identify a wake up time period corresponding to a wake up cycle, transmit a message that includes an identifier of the UE within a first resource pool during a first portion of the wake up time period based on the wake up cycle, and monitor for a paging signal from a vehicle UE during a paging occasion of the wake up time period based on transmitting the message. A vehicle UE may identify a wake up configuration for a wake up time period, receive, within a first portion of the wake up time period, a message within a resource pool that includes the identifier of the UE. The vehicle UE may transmit a paging signal within a paging occasion of the wake up time period.
