CHANNEL RESERVATION TECHNIQUES FOR MILLIMETER WAVE SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication at a first wireless device, comprising:
- transmitting, to a second wireless device, a directional channel reservation request on a transmit beam over a shared radio frequency spectrum band, the directional channel reservation request including a first expected response time duration for the first wireless device to receive a channel reservation response from the second wireless device in response to the directional channel reservation request;
receiving the channel reservation response from the second wireless device during the first expected response time duration; and
transmitting, to the second wireless device, a directional transmission according to the directional channel reservation request.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first device may receive a channel reservation request from a second device, over a shared or unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, the channel reservation request including a first expected response time duration to receive a channel reservation response in response to the channel reservation request. The first wireless device may transmit a channel reservation response in response, and receive a directional transmission according to the channel reservation request. The second device may transmit a directional channel reservation request on a transmit beam, the directional channel reservation request including a first expected response time duration to receive a channel reservation response the first device in response to the directional channel reservation request. The second device may receive the channel reservation response during the first expected response time duration and transmit a directional transmission according to the directional channel reservation request.
