    摘要: The present application may describe a method for obtaining channel access in a network. The method includes selecting, via a gNodeB, a spatial filter to perform listen before talk (LBT). The method includes detecting, via the gNodeB, a channel in an idle state. The method includes obtaining a directional channel occupancy time (COT). The method also includes transmitting a channel access indicator transmission (CAI-T) on a beam. The method further includes receiving a channel access indicator response (CAI-R). The method further includes sensing the channel is clear (e.g., via short channel sensing and the spatial filter). The method includes sending, via the channel, information to the node using one or more spatial filters of the second set of spatial filters. Other embodiments may include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

    摘要: The present application at least describes a method for obtaining channel access in a network. The method includes a step of selecting, via a gNodeB, a spatial filter from a first set of spatial filters to perform listen before talk (LBT). The method includes a step of detecting, via the gNodeB, a channel in an idle state. The method also includes a step of obtaining, a directional channel occupancy time (COT) in the channel in a direction of the selected spatial filter. The method also includes a step of transmitting, to a node, a channel access indicator transmission (CAI-T) on a beam in the cot via a spatial filter of a second set of spatial filters. The method further includes a step of receiving, from the node, a channel access indicator response (CAI-R). The method further includes a step of sensing, via short channel sensing and via the spatial filter or another spatial filter of the second set of spatial filters, the channel is clear. The method even further includes a step of sending, via the channel, information to the node using one or more spatial filters of the second set of spatial filters. Other embodiments of this aspect include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.
