Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATED
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 15:
16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
identify one or more channel occupancy times (COTS) associated with a first radio access technology (RAT) on an unlicensed band;
calculate a congestion control parameter associated with a second RAT on the unlicensed band, wherein the congestion control parameter is calculated by excluding sub-channels in the one or more COTs; and
use the congestion control parameter to communicate via the unlicensed band,
wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the UE to identify a COT, of the one or more COTs, cause the UE to:
identify a start of the COT based at least in part on detecting a preamble of a packet associated with the first RAT;
detect a first energy level associated with the unlicensed band at a first time associated with the preamble;
determine that a difference between the first energy level and a second energy level, detected at a second time after the first time, satisfies a threshold; and
identify an end of the COT based at least in part on determining that the difference between the first energy level and the second energy level satisfies the threshold.
