Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
at least one memory; and
at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
receive, from a cell operating on an unlicensed carrier, an indication of a first energy detection threshold for a first clear channel assessment (CCA) at the UE, wherein the first energy detection threshold is different than a second energy detection threshold for a second CCA at a network entity of the cell;
determine whether the unlicensed carrier is occupied based on the first CCA and the received first energy detection threshold; and
communicate with the network entity when the unlicensed carrier is unoccupied,
wherein the first energy detection threshold is for CCA of the unlicensed carrier at the UE, and
wherein the second energy detection threshold is for CCA of the unlicensed carrier at the network entity.
