Classification-based adaptive transmission in unlicensed spectrum
First Claim
1. A method of communication management between Radio Access Technologies (RATs) sharing operating spectrum in an unlicensed band of radio frequencies, comprising:
- receiving radio signaling via a communication medium, wherein a first RAT is used to receive the radio signaling;
identifying utilization of the communication medium associated with the first RAT based on the received radio signaling;
classifying the identified utilization of the communication medium based on an attribute associated with the received radio signaling and a plurality of thresholds associated with the attribute, wherein the plurality of thresholds define different classes of utilization and different weightings for each of the different classes of utilization; and
adapting communication by a second RAT over the communication medium based on the classified utilization of the medium.

Abstract
Techniques for communication management between Radio Access Technologies (RATs) sharing operating spectrum in an unlicensed band of radio frequencies are disclosed. Interference may be mitigated by, for example, receiving signaling via a resource. A first RAT may be used to receive the signaling. Based on the received signaling, utilization of the resource associated with the first RAT may be identified. The identified utilization of the resource may be classified based on an attribute associated with the received signaling and a plurality of thresholds associated with the attribute. The plurality of thresholds may define different classes of utilization. Communication by a second RAT over the resource may be adapted based on the classified utilization of the resource.
