Enhanced channel reservation for co-existence on a shared communication medium

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one processor and the at least one memory being configured to contend for access to a shared wireless communication medium;
• and
• at least one transceiver configured to:
• transmit, on the shared wireless communication medium, a channel reservation message in accordance with a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) to reserve the shared wireless communication medium for a transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration based on the contending, and
• transmit, on the shared wireless communication medium, during the reserved TXOP duration, a reservation coordination signal in accordance with a second RAT to convey reservation coordination information associated with the reserved TXOP duration.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for contending for access to a shared wireless communication medium;
• means for transmitting, on the shared wireless communication medium, a channel reservation message in accordance with a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) to reserve the shared wireless communication medium for a transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration based on the contending;
• and
• means for transmitting, on the shared wireless communication medium, during the reserved TXOP duration, a reservation coordination signal in accordance with a second RAT to convey reservation coordination information associated with the reserved TXOP duration.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations for wireless communication, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising:

• code for contending for access to a shared wireless communication medium;
• code for transmitting, on the shared wireless communication medium, a channel reservation message in accordance with a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) to reserve the shared wireless communication medium for a transmission opportunity (TXOP) duration based on the contending;
• and
• code for transmitting, on the shared wireless communication medium, during the reserved TXOP duration, a reservation coordination signal in accordance with a second RAT to convey reservation coordination information associated with the reserved TXOP duration.
