Preamble design for ambient-internet of things

A method for wireless communications at a device, comprising:

• receiving signaling comprising a set of bits, wherein a preamble of the received signaling comprises a first subset of bits of the set of bits and a payload of the received signaling comprises a second subset of bits of the set of bits, the second subset of bits comprising fewer bits than the first subset of bits, wherein less than a threshold quantity of bits of the first subset of bits comprises a same bit value, and wherein each bit of the threshold quantity of bits is consecutive;
• detecting the preamble of the received signaling comprising the first subset of bits;
• and
• decoding the payload of the received signaling comprising the second subset of bits based at least in part on the detected preamble of the received signaling.

A device, comprising:

• one or more memories storing processor-executable code;
• and
• one or more processors coupled with the one or more memories and individually or collectively operable to execute the code to cause the device to:
• generate signaling comprising a set of bits, wherein a preamble of the generated signaling comprises a first subset of bits of the set of bits and a payload of the generated signaling comprises a second subset of bits of the set of bits, the second subset of bits comprising fewer bits than the first subset of bits, wherein less than a threshold quantity of bits of the first subset of bits comprises a same bit value, and wherein each bit of the threshold quantity of bits is consecutive;
• and
• transmit the signaling comprising the set of bits.
