Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 18:
19. A base station for wireless communication in a cell operating on an unlicensed carrier, the base station comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the base station to:
transmit, to a device, from the cell operating on the unlicensed carrier, an indication of a first energy detection threshold for a first clear channel assessment (CCA) at the device, wherein the first energy detection threshold is different than a second energy detection threshold for a second CCA at the base station, and
communicate with the device when the unlicensed carrier is unoccupied, wherein the cell is occupied or unoccupied based on the first CCA and the first energy detection threshold,

wherein the first energy detection threshold is for CCA of the unlicensed carrier at the device, and
wherein the second energy detection threshold is for CCA of the unlicensed carrier at the base station.
