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 4):
The method of  claim 3 , wherein configuring the first TRP with the random back-off counter for the at least one unlicensed channel for the first type of CCA comprises configuring the first TRP with a different random back-off counter for one of the unlicensed channels than a random back-off counter for one of the unlicensed channels for the second TRP.
