Patent number: 11991740Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which multiple operators may perform spectrum sharing using shared radio units (RUs), where the multiple different operators can access a same RU for communications with a user equipment (UE). A shared RU may receive requests for resources from two or more network nodes of two or more different network operators, for wireless resources in a first time period. The RU may determine a first resource allocation for the first time period based on different priorities of the different network operators. A first network operator may have a higher priority than a second or third network operator, and resources may be allocated to the first network operator ahead of the second or third network operators. The RU may transmit the first resource allocation to each of the different network nodes that transmitted requests for resources.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2021Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Aleksandar Damnjanovic, Douglas Knisely, Rajat Prakash, Abhishek Saurabh Sachidanand Sinha, John Edward Smee
