Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method at a communications device of a first type that is operable on both a licensed carrier and an unlicensed carrier. The method comprises performing channel sensing on the unlicensed carrier, at different sensing slots within a time duration, for respective links directed to at least two communications devices of a second type that are operable on both the licensed carrier and the unlicensed carrier. The time duration is specified as a portion of a subframe in a frame structure used on the licensed carrier. The method also comprise scheduling transmission on a channel that is determined to be available based on corresponding channel sensing. Correspondingly, there is also provided an apparatus embodied at or as at least part of a communications device of a first type, e.g. a base station that is operable on both a licensed carrier and an unlicensed carrier.

Claim (Index 36):
The wireless transmitter of  claim 35 , wherein:\n the wireless transmitter is operable to perform the first channel sensing and the second channel sensing alternately according to a first channel sensing pattern and a second channel sensing pattern, respectively; and the first channel sensing pattern specifies an arrangement of the at least one sensing slot in the first back-off window and the second channel sensing pattern specifies an arrangement of the at least one sensing slot in the second back-off window.
