Patent number: 11096181Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described for monitoring interference level to selectively control usage of a contention-based protocol. In an example, a wireless device may transmit, while operating in a non-contention-based mode for a wireless link with a second wireless device, a first beamformed data transmission to the second wireless device over a shared channel. The wireless device may determine that an interference level condition is satisfied for the shared channel and transition from operating in the non-contention-based mode to operating in a contention-based mode for the wireless link based at least in part on the interference level condition being satisfied. The wireless device may perform a contention-based protocol, while operating in the contention-based mode for the wireless link with the second wireless device, prior to transmission of a second beamformed data transmission to the second wireless device over the shared channel.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2018Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jing Sun, Sanaz Barghi, Chirag Sureshbhai Patel, Mohammad Naghshvar, Tamer Adel Kadous

Patent number: 10516618Abstract: Techniques for managing preamble transmission and processing on a shared communication medium are disclosed. An access point or an access terminal, for example, may generate a preamble for silencing communication on a communication medium with respect to an upcoming data transmission, configure the preamble to identify one or more target devices for the silencing, and transmit the preamble over the communication medium in advance of the data transmission. Conversely, the access point or the access terminal may receive a preamble (as a receiving device) over a communication medium, identify one or more target devices for silencing communication on the communication medium with respect to an upcoming data transmission based on the preamble, and selectively silence communication over the communication medium based on itself (as the receiving device) being among the one or more target devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sanaz Barghi, Mohammad Naghshvar, Chirag Sureshbhai Patel, Ahmed Kamel Sadek, Tamer Adel Kadous

Patent number: 10405335Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Sanaz Barghi, Jing Sun, Mohammad Naghshvar, Tamer Kadous
