1. A first wireless communication device for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the memory, individually or collectively configured to:
transmit, to a second wireless communication device, a first synchronization message using a first radio frequency (RF) technology and a first frequency resource, the first synchronization message associated with synchronization for a second RF technology;
transmit, to the second wireless communication device and after switching to a second frequency resource that is different from the first frequency resource, a second synchronization message using the first RF technology, the second synchronization message associated with synchronization for the second RF technology, and the switching to the second frequency resource based at least in part on one or more of:
transmission of the second synchronization message being within a subsequent slot, round, or block associated with ranging or sensing, or
failure of the first synchronization message or failure of a reply, from the second wireless communication device, to the first synchronization message;
wherein transmission of the first synchronization message using the first frequency resource and transmission of the second synchronization message using the second frequency resource is based at least in part on one or more of a priority of the first frequency resource or a priority of the second frequency resource, within a list of priority frequency resources, for frequency hopping using the first RF technology for synchronization for the second RF technology; and
wherein the first frequency resource is a prioritized frequency resource and the second frequency resource is a non-prioritized frequency resource, or
wherein the second frequency resource is a prioritized frequency resource, the first frequency resource is a non-prioritized frequency resource, and transmission of the first synchronization message on the first frequency resource is based at least in part on a failure of a prior synchronization message on an additional prioritized frequency resource.
