Abstract:
A communication system is disclosed in which a communication device communicates with communication apparatus that operates a cell within which the communication device is located. The cell is operated as a licensed assisted access (LAA) cell and has an associated physical uplink control channel (PUCCH). The communication device has a controller that is adapted to: generate a control signal for transmitting to said communication apparatus; perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) on said PUCCH before the control signal is transmitted; and block transmission of the control signal on said PUCCH when said CCA indicates that said channel is not clear. The communication device is further adapted, when said controller has not blocked said transmission of the control signal, to transmit the control signal to said communication apparatus in said PUCCH.

Claim (Index 7):
A communication device as claimed in  claim 2  wherein said communication device is configured to communicate with each of a plurality of different communication apparatus', including said communication apparatus that operates said LAA cell, via a different respective PUCCH; wherein said controller is adapted to trigger transmission of SRs on each PUCCH in accordance with a timing configured by respective SR configuration information for that PUCCH; wherein said transceiver is adapted to receive information from at least one of said different communication apparatus' for configuring said communication device to transmit an SR on a first of said different PUCCHs, in preference to a second of said different PUCCHs, when said timing configured by the SR configuration information for the first and the second different PUCCH coincides.
