Abstract

La présente divulgation concerne des systèmes, des procédés et des dispositifs de communication sans fil qui prennent en charge la gestion de largeurs de bande de détection configurées par le réseau dans un système de communication sans fil. Selon des aspects particuliers, un réseau configure une largeur de bande de détection, et la configuration de la largeur de bande de détection est signalée à un nœud en conflit. Le nœud en conflit (par exemple, un UE ou une station de base) réalise une procédure de détection du support (par exemple, une procédure d'accès multiple avec écoute de porteuse (LBT)) à l'aide de la configuration signalée de la largeur de bande de détection. Des aspects de cette divulgation concernent diverses techniques pour signaler la configuration de la largeur de bande de détection au nœud en conflit.
