Channel reservation signal design with different numerology

Abstract:

Certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods and apparatus for transmitting channel reservation signals. In one example, a device used a gating interval to gain access to a channel of a shared spectrum, performs a clear channel assessment to determine if the channel is available, selects a channel reservation signal from among a plurality of predetermined channel reservation signals if the channel is clear, and transmits the channel reservation signal upon the channel being clear. The channel reservation signal comprises a preamble, and a message, wherein the CR preamble and the CR message use a common numerology understood by at least one of different radio access technologies, and different numerologies in the same radio access technology, and the radio access technologies comprise WIFI and NR-SS.
