Superposition coding based preamble designs for co-existing radio access technologies
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- generating a preamble signal comprising a first set of symbols and a second set of symbols, wherein the first set of symbols correspond to a preamble sequence associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) mapped to a first set of subcarriers associated with pilot symbols for the preamble sequence, and the second set of symbols correspond to a signature associated with a second RAT mapped to a second set of subcarriers, the second set of subcarriers comprising one or more subcarrier frequencies in between respective subcarriers of the first set of subcarriers, and wherein the first set of symbols is identifiable to both the first RAT and the second RAT and the second set of symbols is identifiable to the second RAT; and
transmitting the preamble signal over a frequency channel shared by the first RAT and the second RAT.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a device. A device may distinguish a preamble sent from a device configured for a first RAT (e.g., WLAN, Wi-Fi, etc.) from a preamble sent from a device configured for a second RAT (e.g., LTE, LTE-A, LTE-U, etc.). A wireless device associated with a second RAT may transmit a dual-use preamble over a contention-based frequency channel. The dual-use preamble may function as a valid preamble for a first RAT and may be received and decoded by devices associated with the first RAT in addition to devices associated with the second RAT. The dual-use preamble may also include a signature associated with the second RAT. The signature may be embedded with the preamble such that it minimizes interference with the valid preamble and be detected by devices associated with the second RAT.

13. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
-
receiving a preamble signal transmitted over a shared frequency channel, the preamble signal having a predetermined preamble time duration associated with a first radio access technology (RAT), the preamble signal having a first set of symbols corresponding to a preamble sequence associated with the first RAT mapped to a first set of subcarriers associated with pilot symbols for the preamble sequence, and a second set of symbols corresponding to a signature associated with the second RAT mapped to a second set of subcarriers, the second set of subcarriers comprising one or more subcarrier frequencies in between respective subcarriers of the first set of subcarriers; and determining that a transmitter device associated with the received preamble signal is associated with the second RAT based at least in part on the signature in the received preamble signal. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
