Abstract:
Aspects for uplink (UL) communications related to listen before talk (LBT) operations in wireless networks introduce techniques and network devices configured to enable these communications by considering contention window size adaptation and related conditions. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) can switch between different types of LBT operations, including a complete, regular category 4 LBT operation / protocol and a single interval LBT protocol that is shorter in duration. A contention window size can be adapted independently per carrier in multi-carrier operations associated with UL transmissions that either includes or excludes carriers with the single interval LBT. In other aspects, a maximum channel occupancy time (MCOT) with multiple UL grants for different UL subframes can be utilized to determine the LBT processes for UL transmission.
