Patent Images
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- communicating via a licensed radio frequency (RF) band;
determining that information is to be communicated via an unlicensed RF band;
generating an indication of a resource requirement for communication of the information via the unlicensed RF band;
determining whether the licensed RF band is available for sending the indication; and
sending the indication via the unlicensed RF band if the licensed RF band is not available for sending the indication, wherein the indication is sent to an entity that schedules at least one resource on the unlicensed RF band for communication of the information.

Abstract
The disclosure relates in some aspects to resource requirement signaling and rate setting for communication on an unlicensed band. The disclosure also relates in some aspects to determining a token arrival rate as a function of traffic arrival information. In some aspects, the disclosed schemes may avoid traffic collisions on a resource and promote access fairness on the resource.
