SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TIMESLOT STRUCTURE AND SYNCHRONIZATION IN LICENSED-ASSISTED ACCESS

摘要

An evolved NodeB (eNB) for transmitting signals in a Licensed-Assisted Access (LAA) serving cell is described. The eNB includes a processor and memory in electronic communication with the processor. Instructions stored in the memory are executable to perform carrier sensing at least in a minimum clear channel assessment (MCCA) slot. A subframe includes N baseline MCCA timeslots, where N is a positive integer. The MCCA slot includes one of the baseline MCCA timeslots.
