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 21):
The apparatus of  claim 20 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to:\n transmit a channel reservation signal in the first subset of the plurality of expected beam transmission directions during at least one of:\n a time period before transmitting the subset of the plurality of discovery signals based on the monitoring in the first subset of the plurality of expected beam transmission directions; or \n a time period concurrent with one of the subset of the plurality of discovery signals based on frequency-division multiplexing (FDM).
