Claim 0:
1. A method of wireless communication performed by a wireless node, comprising:
performing a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation in a first direction and a second direction,
wherein the wireless node is a first node,
wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction,
wherein the LBT operation is performed using a first receive beam, formed by a first antenna subarray of the wireless node, in the first direction and a second receive beam, formed by a second antenna subarray of the wireless node, in the second direction,
and
wherein performing the LBT operation in the first direction and the second direction is based at least in part on an indication, from a media access control layer of the wireless node, to perform the LBT operation; and

configuring a parameter of a transmission to a third node based at least in part on a result of the LBT operation,
wherein the result of the LBT operation indicates a level of interference from a second node that is located in the first direction, and
wherein the third node is located between the first node and the second node.
