Abstract:
Wireless communications systems and methods related to performing listen-before-talk (LBT) with discovery signal transmissions for spectrum sharing are provided. A wireless communication device senses a channel in a spatial domain based on a plurality of expected beam transmission directions, wherein the wireless communication device is associated with a first network operating entity, and wherein the channel is shared by a plurality of network operating entities including the first network operating entity. The wireless communication device transmits a plurality of discovery signals in one or more of the plurality of expected beam transmission directions during a discovery period to facilitate synchronization in the channel based on the sensing.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 8 , wherein the sensing includes:\n monitoring the channel in a second subset of the plurality of expected beam transmission directions within the discovery period; and detecting a transmission from another wireless communication device over the channel in the second subset of the plurality of expected beam transmission directions, and wherein the method further comprises refraining, by the wireless communication device, from transmitting discovery signals in the second subset of the plurality of expected beam transmission directions based on the detecting.
