An apparatus for and a method of communication are provided, involving controlling the communication of a transceiver on shared data channels using a data channel slot comprising a sensing period and a data period and controlling a transceiver to communicate on common and dedicated control channels on a shared spectrum using control channel slots. Each control channel slot comprises a downlink part and an uplink part. The uplink part occurs at the same time as the sensing period of a data channel slot. The invention aims to overcome the problems that LTE and LTE-A systems have when they use Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands. LTE and LTE-A systems require continuous and synchronous resource allocation for control channels both in the downlink and the uplink directions. |
