Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may identify synchronization signals and a set of frequency hopping channels for communications as part of a discovery reference signal (DRS) in an anchor channel. The set of frequency hopping channels may include a sequence to indicate an order for utilizing each hopping channel of the set of hopping channels.
