1. A method for wireless communications at a first user equipment (UE), comprising:
monitoring a set of sidelink resources for a first portion of one or more sensing windows in accordance with a first monitoring pattern associated with the first UE, the first monitoring pattern different from a second monitoring pattern associated with a second UE and indicating the first portion of the one or more sensing windows and a second portion of the one or more sensing windows, the second portion different from the first portion, wherein the first monitoring pattern is based at least in part on an indication from the second UE, a third UE, or any combination thereof;
transmitting, to one or more UEs including at least the second UE, first control signaling indicating the first monitoring pattern and a first result of monitoring the set of sidelink resources for the first portion of the one or more sensing windows in accordance with the first monitoring pattern, wherein the first monitoring pattern indicates that the set of sidelink resources in the second portion is available to at least the second UE;
receiving second control signaling indicating a second result of at least the second UE monitoring the set of sidelink resources for a third portion of the one or more sensing windows in accordance with the second monitoring pattern associated with the second UE;
selecting one or more resources from the set of sidelink resources based at least in part on the first result, the second result, the first monitoring pattern, and the second monitoring pattern; and
transmitting, based at least in part on the selected one or more resources, data to at least the second UE.
