Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method for wireless communications at a network device associated with a first network operator, comprising:
determining a prioritization of the first network operator for a first transmission opportunity and a second transmission opportunity, wherein the first network operator is higher priority than a second network operator during the first transmission opportunity and the second network operator is higher priority than the first network operator during the second transmission opportunity;
receiving a first portion of data from a user equipment (UE) associated with the first network operator over a channel of a shared radio frequency spectrum band using first resources within the first transmission opportunity based at least in part on the determined priority and identifying that the data is queued for communication;
transmitting a tentative grant to the UE associated with the first network operator over the channel of the shared radio frequency spectrum band using second resources within the first transmission opportunity associated with tentative grants based at least in part on the determined prioritization and a second portion of the data pending after receiving the first portion of the data using the first resources within the first transmission opportunity, wherein the tentative grant schedules the UE to transmit the second portion of the data using the channel over a set of resources of the second transmission opportunity subsequent to the first transmission opportunity;
monitoring the set of resources of the second transmission opportunity for the second portion of the data from the UE; and
receiving the second portion of the data from the UE using the set of resources of the second transmission opportunity based at least in part on an absence of one or more contention messages associated with the second network operator that has higher priority than the first network operator during the second transmission opportunity.
