Claim 24:
25. A user equipment, comprising:
a transceiver configured to:
receive an indication to perform a second channel access procedure if a first channel access procedure is successful for a first subset of beams of a plurality of beams; and

a processing system configured to:
execute the first channel access procedure for the plurality of beams; and
execute the second channel access procedure for the plurality of beams based on the indication and based on the first channel access procedure being successful for the first subset of beams,
the transceiver being further configured to:
transmit a demodulation reference signal (DMRS) on a first beam, of at least one of the first subset of beams or a second subset of beams of the plurality of beams, based at least in part on the second channel access procedure being successful for the second subset of beams and while the DMRS is not transmitted on a second beam that is different from the first subset of beams and the second subset of beams.
