Abstract:
Spatial listen before talk (LBT) with broadcasting or multicasting reception is disclosed. Aspects of the disclosure provide for managing spatial LBT transmissions between broadcast communication nodes and neighboring cells. In one aspect, the broadcast transmitter transmits a preamble that identifies the broadcast transmission durations and the non-broadcast durations in the upcoming transmit opportunity. The potential interferer would read the preamble and yield any transmissions during the broadcast durations. Additional aspects provide for a periodic broadcast clear-to-send (CTS) signal transmitted by the broadcast receivers. The interferer may use the broadcast CTS to perform spatial LBT during the broadcast durations. Further aspects allow the broadcast receivers to determine when potential interferers would cause interference above a threshold. In such circumstances, the broadcast receivers would send the CTS to allow the interferer to perform spatial LBT during the broadcast durations.

Claim (Index 12):
The apparatus of  claim 11 , further including configuration of the at least one processor to obtain, by the UE, identification information regarding each of the one or more neighboring base stations prior to execution of the configuration of the at least one processor to measure, wherein the configuration of the at least one processor to obtain includes configuration to one of:\n acquire the identification information from a system information broadcast transmitted by the one or more neighboring base stations; or receive the identification information from a serving base station of the UE.
