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 18):
A method performed by communication apparatus of a communication system, the method comprising:\n operating a cell via which at least one communication device can communicate with the communication apparatus that operates, wherein the cell is operated as a licensed assisted access, LAA, cell and has an associated physical uplink control channel, PUCCH; and receiving at least one control signal from said communication apparatus in said PUCCH.
