Abstract:
An asynchronous channel reservation design is disclosed having a partial symbol alignment. The transmitting node performs a listen before talk (LBT) procedure on a transmission channel shared by one or more transmission/reception points (TRPs). Upon detecting passing the LBT, a preamble is transmitted followed by a dynamic length cyclic prefix that includes the normal cyclic prefix plus an additional variable period. The transmitter then transmits the channel reservation message after the dynamic length cyclic prefix. On the detector side, once the preamble is detected, the detecting node assumes a normal cyclic prefix before attempting to detect and decode the channel reservation information in the message. Using a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) in the channel reservation message, the detecting node may detect the channel reservation message information from the shifted version of the detected message.

Claim (Index 13):
An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:\n at least one processor; and a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured:\n to monitor, by a network node, for a channel reservation preamble from one or more neighboring transmitters; \n to assume, by the network node, a normal cyclic prefix after the channel reservation preamble in response to detection of the channel reservation preamble; \n to decode, by the network node, a signal over a symbol length after the normal cyclic prefix, wherein the program code executable by the computer for causing the computer to decode the signal is to decode a channel reservation message.
