1. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving a downlink signal comprising a synchronization signal block at a frequency corresponding to a global synchronization channel number, the synchronization signal block spanning across a set of symbol periods in time domain and a set of subcarriers in frequency domain;
analyzing a portion of each symbol period of the set of symbol periods in the time domain across a subset of the set of subcarriers in the frequency domain, wherein analyzing the portion of each symbol period comprises obtaining one or more energy measurements during the portion of each symbol period;
identifying an energy pattern corresponding to the synchronization signal block based at least in part on a comparison of the one or more energy measurements obtained from the analyzing; and
establishing a connection with a network entity based at least in part on the identified energy pattern.
