Claim 15:
16. A method of controlling a user equipment (UE) in a millimeter wave shared spectrum, the method comprising:
transmitting, by a base station (BS) to the UE, higher layer information, the higher layer information indicating the UE to operate with shared spectrum access in a serving cell within the millimeter wave shared spectrum, wherein the higher layer information includes an indicator that indicates a channel access mode; and
transmitting, by the BS to the UE and subsequent to determining that a channel is idle using channel sensing on the channel, a downlink (DL) transmission burst on the channel in the serving cell to, thereby, initiate channel occupancy on the channel,
wherein
the channel sensing is performed, by the BS, in accordance with a channel sensing type associated with the channel access mode, the channel sensing type comprising a directional channel sensing type.
