Claim 21:
22. A method of wireless communication by a network entity, comprising:
transmitting two or more pre-grant transmissions during a contention period, wherein each pre-grant transmission of the two or more pre-grant transmissions is sent via a different beam of a plurality of beams, and wherein the plurality of beams are in a millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency range;
receiving one or more reference signals responsive to the two or more pre-grant transmissions during the contention period using two or more beams of the plurality of beams;
determining interference for each reference signal of the one or more reference signals;
determining whether to transmit data for at least one pre-grant transmission of the two or more pre-grant transmissions based on the interference for each reference signal;
transmitting one or more grant transmissions based on determining that the interference for a particular reference signal of the one or more reference signals satisfied a transmission condition; and
transmitting a data transmission via a particular beam of the plurality of beams based on the one or more grant transmissions.
