Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, a wireless communication device divides a plurality of transmission beams into one or more groups of transmission beams including at least a first group of transmission beams. The wireless communication device determines a first sensing beam requirement for the first group of transmission beams. The wireless communication device determines a first sensing beam and a first scale factor so that the first sensing beam satisfies the first sensing beam requirement scaled by the first scale factor. The first sensing beam is selected from a set of candidate sensing beams. The wireless communication device performs a first Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) using the first sensing beam and a first energy detection threshold (EDT), the first EDT determined in accordance with the first scale factor.
