TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING CHANNEL OCCUPANCY IDENTIFIERS OVER AN UNLICENSED RADIO FREQUENCY SPECTRUM BAND

摘要

Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method may include inserting, in a first transmission using a first radio access technology (RAT), a channel occupancy identifier for a second transmission using a second RAT. The first method may also include transmitting the first transmission having the channel occupancy identifier over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. A second method may include receiving, at a receiver operated using a first RAT, a channel occupancy identifier for a transmission using a second RAT. The channel occupancy identifier may be received over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band. The second method may also include decoding the channel occupancy identifier to identify a backoff period, and refraining from accessing the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band using the first RAT based at least in part on the identified backoff period.
