Claim 7:
8. A wireless node for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors configured to:
perform a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation in a first direction and a second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction,
wherein the wireless node is a first node,
wherein the LBT operation is performed using a first receive beam, formed by a first antenna subarray of the wireless node, in the first direction and a second receive beam, formed by a second antenna subarray of the wireless node, in the second direction,
and
wherein performing the LBT operation in the first direction and the second direction is based at least in part on an indication, from a media access control layer of the wireless node, to perform the LBT operation; and

configure a parameter of a transmission to a third node based at least in part on a result of the LBT operation,
wherein the result of the LBT operation indicates a level of interference from a second node that is located in the first direction, and
wherein the third node is located between the first node and the second node.
