  • Patent number: 12144022
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A communication device, which may be known as user equipment (UE), may be capable of full-duplex communications. The UE may determine that at least a portion of a downlink transmission that the UE may receive while concurrently scheduled to transmit an uplink transmission, may overlap with a clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure (e.g., a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation) in a shared radio frequency spectrum band. The UE may determine that at least a portion of the downlink transmission that overlaps with the LBT resources may be canceled or the downlink transmission may be rate matched and allocated to resources outside of the LBT resources. As a result, the UE may perform an LBT procedure without interference caused by the UE receiving the downlink transmission.
