Techniques for transmitting and receiving channel occupancy identifiers over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- performing a Listen Before Talk (LBT) to contend for access to an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band;
determining whether a resynchronization boundary has passed;
inserting, in a first transmission using a first radio access technology (RAT), a channel occupancy identifier for a second transmission using a second RAT, wherein the channel occupancy identifier comprises at least a portion of a Wi-Fi preamble; and
transmitting, based at least in part on winning contention to access the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band and a determination that the resynchronization boundary has not passed, the first transmission having the channel occupancy identifier over the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band.

Abstract
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method may include inserting, in a first transmission using a first radio access technology (RAT), a channel occupancy identifier for a second transmission using a second RAT. The first method may also include transmitting the first transmission having the channel occupancy identifier over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. A second method may include receiving, at a receiver operated using a first RAT, a channel occupancy identifier for a transmission using a second RAT. The channel occupancy identifier may be received over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The second method may also include decoding the channel occupancy identifier to identify a backoff period, and refraining from accessing the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band using the first RAT based at least in part on the identified backoff period.
