Abstract:
A base station that monitors one or more channel conditions of an unlicensed carrier to detect whether there is an interfering signal in the unlicensed carrier. The base station may detect an interfering signal that, for instance, is hidden from and difficult to detect by a WCD that has UL data to send. If the base station detects an interfering signal on the unlicensed carrier, it proceeds with transmitting a UL grant message to the WCD, however, the base station may configure the transmission of the UL grant message to the WCD based on the interfering signal. For instance, the base station may determine, based on the interfering signal, when to transmit the UL grant message, or may determine, based on the interfering signal, UL transmission parameter values to include in the UL grant message, or any combination thereof.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for scheduling an uplink (UL) transmission from a wireless communication device (WCD), wherein the WCD is operable to communicate using a first carrier at a first frequency and second carrier at a second frequency, the method comprising:\n a base station determining that the WCD should be granted permission to transmit the UL transmission on the second carrier; the base station detecting at the second frequency an interfering signal that would interfere with the UL transmission on the second carrier by the WCD; and in response to detecting the interfering signal, the base station transmitting on the first carrier an UL grant message to the WCD, wherein the transmission of the UL grant message is based on the detected interfering signal.
