<p>Techniques are provided for the suppression of reference signal transmissions to enable sensing in cognitive radio communications. In one example, there is provided a method, operable by a network entity (e.g., evolved Node B), that may involve communicating with another network entity to determine parameters of a quiet period, the parameters comprising at least one of when the quiet period occurs and duration of the quiet period. The method may involve transmitting a reference signal in a first channel exclusively during a first plurality of subframes of a first frame period, wherein the first frame period further includes a quiet period during which no signals are transmitted, and performing during the quiet period a sensing operation with respect to the first channel.</p> |
