Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory comprising executable instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the UE to:
receive a resource grant indicating a plurality of resource candidates for an uplink signal;
sense for energy, in response to the resource grant, over one or more of the plurality of resource candidates in a first sensing occasion before a transmission occasion of the uplink signal;
sense, in a second sensing occasion between the first sensing occasion and the transmission occasion, for energy over a subset of the plurality of resource candidates selected based at least in part on energy sensed in the first sensing occasion, wherein the subset of the plurality of resource candidates are less than the plurality of resource candidates; and
transmit, during the transmission occasion, the uplink signal using the subset of the plurality of resource candidates when energy sensed in the second sensing occasion is less than or equal to a threshold.
