Channel reservation for multi-user scheduling

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving a resource request message from a base station;
• identifying a subset of resources of a transmission opportunity included in the resource request message to be used for receiving data from the base station;
• and
• broadcasting a resource response message to a potential interference source indicating the subset of resources to be used for receiving data from the base station.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving, by a network entity, a resource response message from a user equipment (UE);
• identifying a subset of frequency resources of a transmission opportunity included in the resource response message to be used by the UE to communicate data, wherein the subset of frequency resources is less than a set of all resources associated with the transmission opportunity;
• and
• refraining from transmitting data using the subset of frequency resources included in the resource response message.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a processor;
• memory in electronic communication with the processor;
• and
• instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions are executable by the processor to:
• receive a resource request message from a base station;
• identify a subset of resources of a transmission opportunity included in the resource request message to be used for receiving data from the base station;
• and
• broadcast a resource response message to a potential interference source indicating the subset of resources to be used for receiving data from the base station.
