1. A method for adapting access timing parameters when using an unlicensed dedicated spectrum, comprising:
- identifying at least one access timing parameter of a multi-mode device, the at least one access timing parameter used by the multi-mode device for operation of the multi-mode device outside the unlicensed dedicated spectrum;
adapting a duration of the at least one access timing parameter of the multi-mode device, the adapted at least one access timing parameter used by the multi-mode device for operation of the multi-mode device within the unlicensed dedicated spectrum, wherein the adapted duration of the at least one access timing parameter provides priority, over the multi-mode device, to transmissions of devices for which the unlicensed dedicated spectrum is allocated; and
accessing at least a portion of the unlicensed dedicated spectrum based at least in part on the adapted duration of the at least one of the access timing parameters that provides the priority to transmissions of devices for which the unlicensed dedicated spectrum is allocated.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for adapting access timing parameters when using DSRC spectrum. A multi-mode device may adapt at least one access timing parameter while operating within the DSRC spectrum. The at least one access timing parameter may be adapted to provide priority to transmissions of DSRC devices using the DSRC spectrum. The multi-mode device may increase a duration of a short inter-frame spacing (SIFS) to be at least equal to a duration of a SIFS used by a DSRC device.
