1. A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
generating a sidelink discovery message including device information of the UE and non-device information, wherein:
the non-device information includes beam information for enabling a receiver (Rx) UE to determine whether to avoid establishing a sidelink connection with the UE; and
the beam information includes at least one of:
an indication of at least one beam training pilot used by the UE for a current or a future beam training period;
a time division duplex (TDD) pattern; or
one or more beam training occasions of the UE;
outputting the sidelink discovery message for transmission; and
establishing a sidelink connection with Rx UE after the output of the sidelink discovery message.
