DSRC-LTE V2V co-channel long term coexistence

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• determine a priority level of each channel of a plurality of channels;
• determine whether a first channel of the plurality of channels, the first channel having a highest priority level, is occupied by short range wireless communication;
• and
• determine availability of one or more remaining channels of the plurality of channels for a cellular device-to-device (D2D) communication when the first channel is occupied by the short range wireless communication, wherein to determine whether the first channel is occupied by short range wireless communications the UE is configured to sense short range wireless communications based on at least one of a preamble received in the first channel indicating presence of the short range wireless communication, or an energy level in the first channel exceeding a threshold, wherein the one or more remaining channels are different from the first channel, and perform short range wireless communication using the first channel when the UE is capable of short range wireless communication.

• means for performing short range wireless communication, the means for performing short range wireless communication being configured to perform short range wireless communication using the first channel if the first channel is occupied by the short range wireless communication and the UE is capable of short range wireless communication.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer executable code, comprising code to:

• determine a priority level of each channel of a plurality of channels;
• determine whether a first channel of the plurality of channels, the first channel having a highest priority level, is occupied by short range wireless communication;
• and
• determine availability of one or more remaining channels of the plurality of channels for a cellular device-to-device (D2D) communication when the first channel is occupied by the short range wireless communication, wherein to determine whether the first channel is occupied by short range wireless communications the UE is configured to sense short range wireless communications based on at least one of a preamble received in the first channel indicating presence of the short range wireless communication, or an energy level in the first channel exceeding a threshold, wherein the one or more remaining channels are different from the first channel, and perform short range wireless communication using the first channel when the UE is capable of short range wireless communication.
