Opportunistic reclaiming of resources in new radio-spectrum sharing (NR-SS)
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- identifying, by a first wireless communication device associated with a first operator of a plurality of operators, a transmission opportunity in a shared frequency spectrum shared by the plurality of operators, wherein the first operator has priority among the plurality of operators for accessing the shared frequency spectrum in the transmission opportunity and the transmission opportunity is not reserved by the first wireless communication device during a reservation indication slot of the transmission opportunity;
determining, by the first wireless communication device, that the transmission opportunity is reclaimable after the reservation indication slot; and
communicating, by the first wireless communication device, with a second wireless communication device associated with the first operator, in the transmission opportunity without a reservation of the transmission opportunity by the first wireless communication.

Abstract
Wireless communications systems and methods related to reclaiming of resources in a shared frequency spectrum shared by multiple operators are provided. A first wireless communication device associated with a first operator of a plurality of operators identifies a transmission opportunity in a shared frequency spectrum shared by the plurality of operators, wherein the first operator has priority among the plurality of operators for accessing the shared frequency spectrum in the transmission opportunity. The first wireless communication device communicates with a second wireless communication device associated with the first operator, in the transmission opportunity without a prior reservation of the transmission opportunity.

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
a processor configured to identify a transmission opportunity in a shared frequency spectrum shared by a plurality of operators, wherein the apparatus is associated with a first operator of a plurality of operators, and wherein the first operator has priority among the plurality of operators for accessing the shared frequency spectrum in the transmission opportunity and the transmission opportunity is not reserved by the apparatus during a reservation indication slot of the transmission opportunity; the processor further configured to determine that the transmission opportunity is reclaimable after the reservation indication slot; and a transceiver configured to communicate with a second wireless communication device associated with the first operator, in the transmission opportunity without a reservation of the transmission opportunity by the apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
-
code for causing a first wireless communication device associated with a first operator of a plurality of operators to identify a transmission opportunity in a shared frequency spectrum shared by the plurality of operators, wherein the first operator has priority among the plurality of operators for accessing the shared frequency spectrum in the transmission opportunity and the transmission opportunity is not reserved by the first wireless communication device during a reservation indication slot of the transmission opportunity; code for causing the first wireless communication device to determine that the transmission opportunity is reclaimable after the reservation indication slot; and code for causing the first wireless communication device to communicate with a second wireless communication device associated with the first operator, in the transmission opportunity without a reservation of the transmission opportunity by the first wireless communication device. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
