    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to signaling medium reservation information medium sharing among multiple radio technologies (RATs) are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, a reservation signal to reserve a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in a spectrum. The spectrum is shared by multiple RATs. The reservation signal includes a plurality of first waveform sequences indicating medium reservation information detectable by the multiple RATs. The first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device are associated with a first RAT of the multiple RATs. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device using the first RAT, a communication signal in the spectrum during the TXOP.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for operating in a television white space (TVWS) network. One example method generally includes receiving, at an apparatus, a message with a field indicating a current version of an unused frequency spectrum map (e.g., a white space map (WSM)), the unused frequency spectrum map indicating channels usable for wireless communications; determining whether the current version of the unused frequency spectrum map is different than a previous version of the unused frequency spectrum map; and using a channel for wireless communications based on the determination. Another example method generally includes accessing a database of available channels for a current location of an apparatus via a neighboring portable or fixed enabling apparatus and enabling one or more portable dependent apparatuses for the wireless communications via one or more of the available channels.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for using travelling pilots for channel estimation are described herein. In one aspect, wireless communications apparatus is described that comprises a processor configured to divide a plurality of tones on which pilot signals are to be transmitted among a plurality of symbols, wherein each symbol includes less than all of the plurality of tones and the plurality of symbols includes at least a subset of the plurality of tones. The wireless communication apparatus further comprises a transmitter configured to transmit, during a given symbol, pilot signals on the tones included in the given symbol, wherein the tones over which the pilot signals are transmitted are changed from symbol to symbol.
