    Abstract: Systems and methods for co-existence between wireless Radio Access Technologies (RATs) employing channel reservation on a shared communication medium are disclosed. One or more channel reservation messages defined for a first RAT may be received to reserve the communication medium for a reservation duration, with the communication medium comprising a plurality of component channels. A first component channel may be determined among the plurality of component channels to be protected for operation of a second RAT in accordance with the one or more channel reservation messages. Communication via the first RAT may nevertheless proceed on a second component channel among the plurality of component channels during the reservation duration.

    Abstract: Aspects for reducing interference between networks are provided. A signal transmitted by one or more devices in a first network over a communications medium using an unlicensed frequency spectrum is decoded to determine one or more parameters of a packet in the signal. A level of utilization of the communications medium by the one or more devices in the first network can be estimated based at least in part on a signal strength of the signal and the one or more parameters. A period of time for communicating in a second network over the communications medium using the unlicensed frequency spectrum can be adjusted based at least in part on the level of utilization of the communications medium by the first network. In addition, a number of active transmitters over the communications medium can be determined based at least in part on identifying a source entity related to transmission of the signal, and adjusting the time for communicating in the second network can be further based at least in part on the number of active transmitters.

    Abstract: Techniques are described herein to selectively protect some resources of a transmission opportunity, but not all resources of a transmission opportunity. A base station may schedule resources to be used to communicate data with a user equipment (UE). To indicate to potential interference sources, a silencing message may broadcast to other network entities. The silencing message may include an indication of resources to be protected for a transmission between the base station and the UE. The silencing message may indicate a subset of resources that is less than a set of all resources of a transmission opportunity. In some examples, the silencing message may indicate a subset of frequency subbands of the transmission opportunity. In response to the silencing message, potential interference sources may refrain from communicating data during the indicated subset of resources.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for receiver measurement assisted access point control. A method operable by a Wi-Fi network entity includes signaling a time to at least one station served by the Wi-Fi network entity for interference measurements. The method includes receiving interference measurements taken at the signaled time from the at least one station. The method includes tuning transmitter parameters based on the received interference measurements.

    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.

    Abstract: Shared spectrum operation is disclosed for sharing spectrum among multiple wireless deployments. Coordination procedures between and among 2nd and 3rd Tier deployments include the use of beacons transmitted by the 2nd Tier for clearing access to spectrum occupied by 3rd Tier users and multiple 3rd Tier deployments sharing resources using a group-listen before talk (LBT) protocol, rather than a per-node LBT protocol. The 2nd Tier beacon signals are transmitted to alert 3rd Tier users of their presence, which, upon detection, will leave the particular spectrum within a predetermined time. For the shared LBT protocol, the 3rd Tier deployments share the channel with each other through an LBT with random backoff, in which the start time of clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure and the random backoff values are synchronized among nodes of the same deployment.
