Pre-reservation resource management

A method for wireless communications at a device in a wireless communications system, comprising:

• receiving an indication of a reservation configuration to transmit a reservation signal according to a condition;
• determining whether to transmit the reservation signal prior to a transmission of a packet based at least in part on the condition;
• and
• allocating, based at least in part on the determining and the reservation configuration, resources for the reservation signal from a resource pool configured according to a pre-reservation resource pattern, the reservation signal reserving resources for the transmission of the packet.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory coupled to the processor, the processor and memory configured to:
• receive an indication of a reservation configuration to transmit a reservation signal according to a condition, the reservation signal reserving resources for a packet from a resource pool configured according to a pre-reservation resource pattern, the reservation signal sharing resources from the resource pool configured according to the pre-reservation resource pattern;
• and
• determine whether to transmit the reservation signal prior to a transmission of the packet based at least in part on the condition;
• and
• refrain from transmitting the reservation signal based at least in part on determining whether to transmit the reservation signal prior to the transmission of the packet.
