1. A method of wireless data communication comprising:
- receiving, by a node, at least one control message comprising a predetermined partitioning scheme for a plurality of resources, the predetermined partitioning scheme partitioning the resources into sets of resources and assigning each of the sets of resources to at least one of a plurality of traffic classes;
determining, by the node, a quality of service at the node;
comparing, by the node, the quality of service to a quality of service requirement;
determining by the node, when the quality of service does not satisfy the quality of service requirement, one or more first resources on which to send a resource utilization message for a first traffic class, based on the first traffic class and the predetermined partitioning scheme;
creating, by the node, a carrier mask identifying second resources that the node desires to be blocked; and
transmitting by the node, on the one or more first resources, the resource utilization message including the carrier mask.

Abstract
Systems and methods are described that facilitate the determination and request of resources a node may wish to reserve. The resources include a plurality of carriers that are shared with other nodes. In an approach, the node determines a condition related to the plurality of carriers; creates an ordering of the plurality of resources; and transmits a resource utilization message (RUM) for one or more of the plurality of resources based on the ordering and the condition.

8. An apparatus for wireless data communication comprising:
-
means for receiving, by a node, at least one control message comprising a predetermined partitioning scheme for a plurality of resources, the predetermined partitioning scheme partitioning the resources into sets of resources and assigning each of the sets of resources to at least one of a plurality of traffic classes; means for determining, by the node, a quality of service at the node; means for comparing, by the node, the quality of service to a quality of service requirement; means for determining by the node, when the quality of service does not satisfy the quality of service requirement, one or more first resources on which to send a resource utilization message, based on the traffic class of the resource utilization message and the predetermined partitioning scheme; means for creating, by the node, a carrier mask identifying second resources that the node desires to be blocked; and means for transmitting by the node, on the one or more first resources, the resource utilization message including the carrier mask. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer program product for wireless data communication comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program code for wireless data communication, the program code comprising program instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising; receiving, by a node, at least one control message comprising a predetermined partitioning scheme for a plurality of resources, the predetermined partitioning scheme partitioning the resources into sets of resources and assigning each of the sets of resources to at least one of a plurality of traffic classes; determining, by the node, a quality of service at the node; comparing, by the node, the quality of service to a quality of service requirement; determining by the node, when the quality of service does not satisfy the quality of service requirement, one or more first resources on which to send a resource utilization message for a first traffic class, based on the first traffic class and the predetermined partitioning scheme; creating, by the node, a carrier mask identifying second resources that the node desires to be blocked; and transmitting by the node, on the one or more first resources, the resource utilization message including the carrier mask. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
