Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method at a communications device of a first type that is operable on both a licensed carrier and an unlicensed carrier. The method comprises performing channel sensing on the unlicensed carrier, at different sensing slots within a time duration, for respective links directed to at least two communications devices of a second type that are operable on both the licensed carrier and the unlicensed carrier. The time duration is specified as a portion of a subframe in a frame structure used on the licensed carrier. The method also comprise scheduling transmission on a channel that is determined to be available based on corresponding channel sensing. Correspondingly, there is also provided an apparatus embodied at or as at least part of a communications device of a first type, e.g. a base station that is operable on both a licensed carrier and an unlicensed carrier.

Claim (Index 37):
The wireless transmitter of  claim 35 , the wireless transmitter further operable to extend at least one of the first and second back-off window, at the end of which no channel sensing is performed, for further channel sensing to confirm availability of the channel being sensed in the at least one of the first and second back-off window.
