Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions to cause a device to perform a method of communication via a first frequency band that is an unlicensed band and a second frequency band that is an unlicensed band different from the unlicensed band of the first frequency band, the method comprising:
sending a notification to a base station to notify the base station that the communication device has data to transmit,
receiving a notification from the base station that identifies a scheduled resource of the second frequency band,
attempting to transmit the data on an unscheduled resource of the first frequency band,
based upon a usage condition of the unscheduled resource of the first frequency band, determining that the communication device must delay a start of a transmission of the data via the unscheduled resource of the first frequency band by a determined time delay,
based on determined time delay, determining whether or not the communication device is able to complete a transmission of the data via the scheduled resource of the second frequency band before the communication device would be able to complete a transmission of the data via the unscheduled resource of the first frequency band,
upon determining that the communication device is able to complete the transmission of the data via the scheduled resource of the second frequency band before the communication device would be able to complete the transmission of the data via the unscheduled resource of the first frequency band, transmitting the data via the scheduled resource of the second frequency band, and
upon determining that the communication device is not able to complete the transmission of the data via the scheduled resource of the second frequency band before the communication device would be able to complete the transmission of the data via the unscheduled resource of the first frequency band, transmitting the data via the unscheduled resource of the first frequency band after the determined time delay.
