UNIVERSAL RESERVATION SIGNAL FOR MEDIUM SHARING
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- communicating, by a first wireless communication device with a second wireless communication device, a reservation signal to reserve a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in a spectrum, wherein the spectrum is shared by multiple radio access technologies (RATs), wherein the reservation signal includes a plurality of first waveform sequences indicating medium reservation information detectable by the multiple RATs, and wherein the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device are associated with a first RAT of the multiple RATs; and
communicating, by the first wireless communication device with the second wireless communication device using the first RAT, a communication signal in the spectrum during the TXOP.

Abstract
Wireless communications systems and methods related to signaling medium reservation information medium sharing among multiple radio technologies (RATs) are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, a reservation signal to reserve a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in a spectrum. The spectrum is shared by multiple RATs. The reservation signal includes a plurality of first waveform sequences indicating medium reservation information detectable by the multiple RATs. The first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device are associated with a first RAT of the multiple RATs. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device using the first RAT, a communication signal in the spectrum during the TXOP.
