TECHNIQUES FOR SELECTING A MINIMUM MEASUREMENT DURATION IN LISTEN-BEFORE-TALK (LBT) SENSING SLOTS FOR HIGH BAND UNLICENSED CHANNEL ACCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17384586 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR SELECTING A MINIMUM MEASUREMENT DURATION IN LISTEN-BEFORE-TALK (LBT) SENSING SLOTS FOR HIGH BAND UNLICENSED CHANNEL ACCESS
Simplified Explanation
This patent application is about a system for selecting the minimum measurement duration in listen-before-talk (LBT) sensing slots for high band unlicensed channel access. Here are the key points:
- The system allows a device to select a minimum sensing duration for an LBT procedure based on the sensing bandwidth or an energy threshold.
- The device measures or senses a wireless channel for at least the selected minimum sensing duration in each sensing slot of the LBT procedure.
- Based on the result of the LBT procedure, the device can decide whether to transmit or refrain from transmitting on the wireless channel.
- The system helps in efficiently accessing high band unlicensed channels by optimizing the measurement duration and transmission decisions.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Mobile devices and networks
- Wi-Fi networks
- Industrial automation and control systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient utilization of high band unlicensed channels
- Avoiding interference and collisions in wireless communication
- Optimizing transmission decisions based on channel availability
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and reliability of wireless communication systems
- Enhanced efficiency in accessing high band unlicensed channels
- Reduced interference and collisions in wireless networks
- Better utilization of available spectrum resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for selecting a minimum measurement duration in listen-before-talk (LBT) sensing slots for high band unlicensed channel access. In some examples, a device may select a minimum sensing duration for an LBT procedure according to a sensing bandwidth or an energy threshold (such as an energy detection threshold or an energy power spectral density threshold), or both. As part of the LBT procedure, the device may measure or sense a wireless channel for at least the selected minimum sensing duration in each sensing slot of the LBT procedure. The device may selectively transmit on the wireless channel according to a result of the LBT procedure. For example, the device may either transmit or refrain from transmitting on the wireless channel depending on whether the device senses the wireless channel to be available.
