Methods and apparatus for a Wireless Terminal (WT) to convey uplink traffic information, e. g. , uplink channel resource requests, to a Base Station (BS) are described. Uplink transmission resources are requested for data corresponding to different priority levels. The WT keeps track of the BS's understanding of WT traffic through the use of a first queue which keeps track of the BS's estimate of WT's uplink queue status for different priority levels by following the same procedure the BS uses to update its estimate of WT queue status. The WT uses this tracked information along with actual traffic information it maintains in a second set of queue information to form uplink traffic channel requests to be transmitted to the BS. Methods used by the BS to interpret uplink traffic channel requests from WTs are also described. The BS maintains its own queue of requests and corresponding priority information for individual WTs.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A first device in a synchronous network performs a first clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure on a channel; identifies the channel as being available based at least in part on the first CCA procedure; and transmits a packet on the channel immediately following the completion of the first CCA procedure. A second device performs a CCA procedure on the channel using the same count-down duration if the first and second devices are associated with the same first operator. If the first and second devices are associated with different operators, the second device performs a second CCA procedure on the channel having a different count-down duration than the count-down duration of the first CCA procedure.
