Claim 12:
13. A network entity, comprising:
a memory comprising executable instructions; and
one or more processors configured to execute the instructions and cause the network entity to:
transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a resource grant indicating a plurality of resource candidates for an uplink signal, a transmission occasion, a first sensing occasion before the transmission occasion, and a second sensing occasion between the first sensing occasion and the transmission occasion;
refrain from transmitting using resources included in the plurality of resource candidates during the first sensing occasion; and
receive, from the UE, during the transmission occasion, the uplink signal using a subset of the plurality of resource candidates when energy sensed over the subset of the plurality of resource candidates in the second sensing occasion is less than or equal to a threshold, wherein the subset of the plurality of resource candidates are selected based at least in part on energy sensed in the first sensing occasion, and wherein the subset of the plurality of resource candidates are less than the plurality of resource candidates.
