METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR REDUNDANT WAVEFORM PROTECTION IN A MIXED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of protecting a long term evolution unlicensed (LTE-U) transmission timing from interfering WLAN transmissions, comprising:
- transmitting, from a first wireless device, a first communication reserving access to the wireless medium during a first time period;
transmitting or receiving a LTE-U transmission during the first time period;
detecting, prior to the first time period, an interfering WLAN transmission that will result in its transmitter and recipients not detecting the first communication; and
transmitting, after the interfering WLAN transmission, a second communication reserving access to the wireless medium during a second time period at least partially overlapping the first.

Abstract
Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to a methods and apparatus for wireless communication. In one aspect, a method of communication over a wireless medium includes transmitting, from a first wireless device, a first communication reserving access to the wireless medium during a first time period. The method further includes transmitting or receiving a long term evolution unlicensed (LTE-U) transmission during the first time period. The method further includes detecting, prior to the first time period, an interfering WLAN transmission that will result in its transmitter and recipients not detecting the first communication. The method further includes transmitting, after the interfering WLAN transmission, a second communication reserving access to the wireless medium during a second time period at least partially overlapping the first.

12. An apparatus configured to communicate over a wireless medium, comprising:
-
a processor configured to; generate a first communication reserving access to the wireless medium during a first time period; detect, prior to the first time period, an interfering WLAN transmission that will result in its transmitter and recipients not detecting the first communication; and generate, for transmission after the WLAN transmission, a second communication reserving access to the wireless medium during a second time period at least partially overlapping the first; a transmitter configured to transmit the first and second communications; and a transmitter or receiver configured to transmit or receive a long term evolution unlicensed (LTE-U) transmission during the first time period. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

30. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code that, when executed, causes an apparatus to:
-
transmit a first communication reserving access to the wireless medium during a first time period; transmit or receive a long term evolution unlicensed (LTE-U) transmission during the first time period; detect, prior to the first time period, an interfering WLAN transmission that will result in its transmitter and recipients not detecting the first communication; and transmit, after the interfering WLAN transmission, a second communication reserving access to the wireless medium during a second time period at least partially overlapping the first.
