Claim 16:
17. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:
receiving, by the UE, from a cell operating on an unlicensed carrier, an indication of a first energy detection threshold for a first clear channel assessment (CCA) at the UE, where the first energy detection threshold is different than a second energy detection threshold for a second CCA at a network entity of the cell;
determining whether the unlicensed carrier is occupied based upon the first CCA and the received first energy detection threshold; and
communicating with the network entity when the unlicensed carrier is unoccupied,
wherein the first energy detection threshold is for CCA of the unlicensed carrier at the UE, and
wherein the second energy detection threshold is for CCA of the unlicensed carrier at the network entity.
