Abstract:
Soft channel reservation in shared spectrum networks is discussed. In network areas where multiple wireless nodes, whether from the same or different network operators, share spectrum using a channel reservation signaling form of contention resolution, an aggressor transmitter listens for a neighbor receiver's receiver channel reservation signal to the neighbor transmitter the neighbor receiver is in communication with. The receiver channel reservation signal includes channel condition information that the aggressor transmitter can use to estimate an interference impact at the neighbor receiver should the aggressor transmitter performs its transmissions to its own receivers. Based on whether this estimated interference impact exceeds or remains within a particular threshold, the aggressor transmitter may decide whether or not to back off of its transmissions until a later time.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of wireless communication, comprising:\n monitoring, by a transmitter, a transmission beam direction associated with one or more receivers identified for communication with the transmitter; detecting a receiver channel reservation signal from one or more neighbor receivers communicating with one or more different transmitters, wherein the receiver channel reservation signal detected from a neighbor receiver of the one or more neighbor receivers includes channel condition information identifying channel conditions observed at the neighbor receiver; estimating, by the transmitter, an interference impact metric using the channel condition information, wherein the interference impact metric estimates an impact on the channel conditions observed at the one or more neighbor receivers caused by transmission by the transmitter; and determining, by the transmitter, to back off transmission with the one or more receivers in the transmission beam direction in response to the interference impact metric remaining within a threshold interference.
