Techniques are described that support techniques for directional discovery in a millimeter wave communications system. A vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications system may support beam discovery procedures that use directional beams to discover other entities, establish directional communication links with other entities, or maintaining directional communication links with other entities. The beam discovery procedure may include a sweep pattern where a transmitting entity may probe with directional beams in a plurality of beam directions. During a beam discovery procedure a transmitting entity may transmit discovery signals in a plurality of different directions and a receiving entity may listen for the discovery signals in a plurality of different directions. The sweep patterns of the transmitting entity and the receiving entity may be coordinated to increase a likelihood that the receiving entity will discover the transmitting entity.
