Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a wireless communication device, an acquisition signal that uses a lower transmit power level than a transmit power level of one or more other acquisition signals transmitted by the wireless communication device. The UE may transmit, to the wireless communication device, a response message to the acquisition signal that uses an initial access power configuration associated with the acquisition signal, the response message indicating at least one low power capability of the UE or location information of the UE. The UE may communicate, with the wireless communication device, in a connected communication mode using a low power configuration that is based at least in part on the at least one low power capability of the UE or the location information of the UE. Numerous other aspects are described.
