  • Patent number: 12302385
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for wireless channel access, through which transmitter of a latency-critical communication is allowed to access the channel as soon as possible. Service-based energy detection thresholds and service-based channel access priority class may be used in listen-before-talk (LBT) operations for the latency-critical communication. When an unlicensed band is obtained for non-latency-critical service, a subset of radio resources in the unlicensed band is reserved for the latency-critical communication to bypassing an LBT operation. The method may be used to reduce latency for ultra reliable low latency communication (URLLC) transmission.
