1. A method for wireless communication at a first user equipment, comprising:
transmitting, to a second user equipment, a first set of data in a first slot;
receiving, from the second user equipment, an indication of a power estimation capability comprising an ability of the second user equipment to predict a received signal power of a transmission in a second slot, the predicted received signal power being based at least in part on one or more parameters received in the first slot;
determining, by the first user equipment based at least in part on a transmission power of the first set of data in the first slot and a transmission power of an upcoming transmission in the second slot, that the power estimation capability of the second user equipment satisfies a threshold; and
transmitting, based at least in part on the power estimation capability of the second user equipment satisfying the threshold, a second set of data in a symbol reserved for automatic gain control at the second slot.
