1. A method for wireless communications at a user equipment (UE), comprising:
transmitting, to a network entity, capability information comprising an indication that the UE supports selection of a transmission mode from a set of transmission modes for transmission of a random access request message while the UE is in a connected mode with the network entity;
receiving, from the network entity, control signaling comprising an indication of criteria for selection of the transmission mode from the set of transmission modes, wherein receiving the control signaling comprising the indication of the criteria for selection of the transmission mode is based at least in part on transmitting the capability information;
selecting the transmission mode from the set of transmission modes based at least in part on one or more conditions satisfying the criteria, wherein the set of transmission modes includes the transmission mode, and wherein a set of repetitions of the random access request message are to be transmitted on multiple component carriers; and
transmitting, according to the transmission mode and while the UE is in the connected mode with the network entity, the set of repetitions of the random access request message.
