Coordinated medium access

An apparatus for wireless communications at a station, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors;
• and
• instructions stored in the one or more memories and executable by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to:
• receive, in accordance with an access order for access points (APs) to transmit reservation signals and in accordance with an access scheme for a first AP to reserve a wireless channel of a radio frequency spectrum band during at least a portion of time resources that are associated with the wireless channel and that are available to a plurality of APs including the first AP, a reservation signal over the wireless channel to reserve multiple service periods associated with the wireless channel,
• wherein each service period of the multiple service periods is configured for communications between a respective AP of the plurality of APs and respective one or more stations associated with the respective AP, between the respective AP and respective one or more APs of the plurality of APs, or any combination thereof, and
• wherein the reservation signal indicates the multiple service periods reserved by the first AP associated with the station;
• and
• communicate with the first AP during the multiple service periods reserved by the first AP based at least in part on the reservation signal.

A method for wireless communications at a first access point (AP), comprising:

• transmitting, in accordance with an access order for APs to transmit reservation signals and in accordance with an access scheme for the first AP to reserve a wireless channel of a radio frequency spectrum band during at least a portion of time resources that are associated with the wireless channel and that are available to a plurality of APs including the first AP, a reservation signal over the wireless channel to reserve multiple service periods associated with the wireless channel,
• wherein each service period of the multiple service periods configured for communications between a respective AP of the plurality of APs and respective one or more stations associated with the respective AP, between the respective AP and respective one or more APs of the plurality of APs, or any combination thereof, and
• wherein the reservation signal indicates the multiple service periods reserved by the first AP;
• and
• communicating with at least one or more stations associated with the first AP during the multiple service periods reserved by the first AP based at least in part on the reservation signal.
