    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for wireless communication. In an aspect, a wireless communication device detects a trigger to transmit a message via satellite connectivity, determines one or more alignment opportunities associated with one or more satellites, wherein each alignment opportunity of the one or more alignment opportunities is a time period during which a main lobe of an antenna of the wireless communication device is predicted to be aligned with a line-of-sight (LOS) direction to at least one satellite of the one or more satellites, transitions to a sleep state until at least one alignment opportunity of the one or more alignment opportunities, and transmits the message to the at least one satellite of the one or more satellites during the at least one alignment opportunity of the one or more alignment opportunities.
