COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATING USING A FREQUENCY RANGE

摘要

A communication device is described comprising a transceiver configured for communication according to a wide area network radio access technology and configured for communication according to a local area network radio access technology, a detector configured to detect whether a frequency range is unoccupied and a controller configured to control the transceiver to, if the frequency range is unoccupied, transmit data according to the local area network radio access technology to occupy the frequency range until a communication starting time according to a frame structure of the wide area network radio access technology and to control the transceiver to start communication using the frequency range according to the wide area network radio access technology at the communication starting time.
