Title: Transmission medium sharing in a wireless communications network
Inventor: VIRGILE GARCIA
IPC: H04W72/04
Filed: 2018-09-26
Abstract: In a wireless communications network, a first node obtains occupancy of a channel for a chosen channel occupancy time (COT) which is less that than or equal to the maximum channel occupancy time (MCOT). The node then transmits medium sharing information including identification data and channel occupancy expiration time data. A further node receives this information, uses the identification data to determine when sharing of the channel with the first node is allowed, and uses the expiration data to determine when transmission on the channel is possible. The further node may determine that sharing of the channel is allowed if the first node is of the same technology or has the same operator, and may determine that transmission on the channel is possible if the expiration time of a proposed transmission precedes the expiration time of the transmission by the first node. The first node may transmit the medium sharing information at the start of its transmission, after a delay, or at multiple points with periodic or irregular spacing. The nodes may be base stations or user equipments, the transmission medium may be unlicensed, and the network may be NR-U or LTE LAA.
