Patent attributes
A connection may be established between a base station and a user equipment (UE) using a radio frequency shared by multiple network operating entities. Resources (e.g., a frame) may be divided into exclusive, prioritized, and opportunistic sub-intervals for a given network operating entity coexisting within the shared radio frequency spectrum. Additionally, a set of low latency sub-intervals (e.g., reserved resources) may be designated for use by the network operating entity for mission critical (MiCr) and/or autonomous uplink transmissions. The network operating entity may indicate timing information for low latency sub-intervals during a sub-interval for exclusive use by the network operating entity. The UE may then transmit MiCr and/or autonomous uplink messages using the low latency intervals without performing a medium sensing procedure. In some cases, the sub-intervals for MiCr and autonomous uplink transmissions may be for exclusive use by the network operating entity.
