Interference management with coloring concept

An apparatus configured for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for obtaining, by a target transmitter, a first priority schedule for a transmission opportunity of the target transmitter, wherein the first priority schedule identifies transmission priority for a plurality of base station groups, wherein each of the plurality of base station groups includes one or more base stations grouped according to one or more transmission criteria;
• means for identifying, at the target transmitter, data for transmission;
• means for monitoring, by the target transmitter, medium sensing slots corresponding to each of the plurality of base station groups for a medium reservation signal;
• means for determining a highest priority medium reservation signal out of any medium reservation signals detected during the means for monitoring, wherein the highest priority medium reservation signal is determined according to the first priority schedule;
• and
• means for transmitting the data by the target transmitter when the highest priority medium reservation signal corresponds to the target transmitter.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:

• program code executable by a computer for causing the computer to obtain, by a target transmitter, a first priority schedule for a transmission opportunity of the target transmitter, wherein the first priority schedule identifies transmission priority for a plurality of base station groups, wherein each of the plurality of base station groups includes one or more base stations grouped according to one or more transmission criteria;
• program code executable by the computer for causing the computer to identify, at the target transmitter, data for transmission;
• program code executable by the computer for causing the computer to monitor, by the target transmitter, medium sensing slots corresponding to each of the plurality of base station groups for a medium reservation signal;
• program code executable by the computer for causing the computer to determine a highest priority medium reservation signal out of any medium reservation signals detected during execution of the program code executable by the computer for causing the computer to monitor, wherein the highest priority medium reservation signal is determined according to the first priority schedule;
• and
• program code executable by the computer for causing the computer to transmit the data by the target transmitter when the highest priority medium reservation signal corresponds to the target transmitter.

An apparatus configured for wireless communication, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor,
• wherein the at least one processor is configured:
• to obtain, by a target transmitter, a first priority schedule for a transmission opportunity of the target transmitter, wherein the first priority schedule identifies transmission priority for a plurality of base station groups, wherein each of the plurality of base station groups includes one or more base stations grouped according to one or more transmission criteria;
• to identify, at the target transmitter, data for transmission;
• to monitor, by the target transmitter, medium sensing slots corresponding to each of the plurality of base station groups for a medium reservation signal;
• to determine a highest priority medium reservation signal out of any medium reservation signals detected during execution of the configuration of the at least one processor to monitor, wherein the highest priority medium reservation signal is determined according to the first priority schedule;
• and
• to transmit the data by the target transmitter when the highest priority medium reservation signal corresponds to the target transmitter.
