Node-specific medium reservation for spectrum sharing

An apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to obtain a first configuration designated to the apparatus, wherein the first configuration indicates at least one node-specific reservation signal configuration with at least one waveform for representing reservation information, the at least one node-specific reservation signal configuration specific to the first wireless communication device;
• and
• a transceiver configured to transmit a reservation signal to reserve a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in a shared spectrum, wherein the reservation signal includes a first waveform representing corresponding first reservation information based on the first configuration,
• wherein the first reservation information indicates at least one of a transmit power level of the reservation signal, an interference tolerance level of the apparatus, or a first resource allocated to the apparatus, and wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit the reservation signal by transmitting the reservation signal using the first resource when the first reservation information indicates the first resource.

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

• code for causing a first wireless communication device to obtain a first configuration designated to the first wireless communication device, wherein the first configuration indicates at least one node-specific reservation signal configuration with at least one waveform for representing reservation information, the at least one node-specific reservation signal configuration specific to the first wireless communication device;
• and
• code for causing the first wireless communication device to transmit a reservation signal to reserve a transmission opportunity (TXOP) in a shared spectrum, wherein the reservation signal includes a first waveform representing corresponding first reservation information based on the first configuration,
• wherein the first reservation information indicates at least one a transmit power level of the reservation signal, an interference tolerance level of the first wireless communication device, or a first resource allocated to the first wireless communication device, and wherein the code for causing the first wireless communication device to transmit the reservation signal is further configured to transmit the reservation signal using the first resource when the first reservation information indicates the first resource.
