Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure provided methods and devices for a transmit receive point (TRP) to access one or more unlicensed channels in an unlicensed spectrum jointly with at least one other TRP. An example method may include a step of aligning a starting time of a potential transmission on at least one of the one or more unlicensed channels with a starting time of a potential transmission of at least one other TRP on the at least one of the one or more unlicensed channels. A further step includes performing channel access on the at least one of the one or more unlicensed channels by performing at least one of a spatial domain channel access procedure or a combination of a spatial domain channel access procedure and a frequency domain multi-channel access procedure. Another step includes transmitting at the aligned starting time on the at least one of the one or more unlicensed channels in the joint access period when the at least one of the one or more unlicensed channels is available.

Claim (Index 25):
The first TRP of  claim 24 , wherein when the first type of CCA or the second type of CCA senses an unlicensed channel to be busy during a CCA slot, the controller is further configured to send a notification of at least one of a CCA failure and a missed starting time of the first downlink transmission of the first TRP to the second TRP.
