Abstract
Channel reservation systems and methods are disclosed herein, which schedule transmissions on a shared radio medium that is shared by a plurality of licensed network operators. In embodiments, priority access is pre-assigned to the network and the method determines whether to send a transmission based at least on the transmitter'"'"'s priority class as compared to another transmitter'"'"'s priority class and to which transmitter the time slot of a signal is dedicated. In embodiments, priority access may not be preassigned to the network and pre-grants may be used in conjunction with CR-Ts and CR-Rs to determine whether a transmitter transmits.

6. A channel reservation method comprising:
-
reducing contention of access to a shared radio medium of a network that is shared by a plurality of licensed network operators by performing a hand-shaking operation; and scheduling transmissions on the shared radio medium, wherein time priority access has not been assigned to the network, and wherein the reducing comprises; obtaining, at a transmitter, a contention pre-grant request including a schedule of communication between the transmitter and one or more receivers, transmitting, by the transmitter, a transmitter channel reservation signal identifying an intent to transmit data to one or more target receivers associated with the communication and a transmission power level intended for the data transmission, wherein the one or more target receivers are one or more of the one or more receivers, receiving, at the transmitter, one or more receiver channel reservation signals from the one or more receivers, wherein the one or more receiver channel reservation signals identifies an intent to receive, a receive transmit power level of the receiver channel reservation signal, and a maximum interference level acceptable of each of the one or more receivers, determining, by the transmitter, an interference level expected at each of the one or more receivers based on the transmission power level during the data transmission, and managing transmission, by the transmitter, of the data based at least in part on comparison of the interference level and the maximum interference level. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
