METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CARRIER IDENTITY DETERMINATION IN MULTI-CARRIER COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

Systems and methods are described that facilitate the determination and request of resources a node may wish to reserve. The resources include a plurality of carriers that are shared with other nodes. In an approach, the node determines a condition related to the plurality of carriers; creates an ordering of the plurality of resources; and transmits a resource utilization message (RUM) for one or more of the plurality of resources based on the ordering and the condition.
