  • CHANNEL ACCESS PROCEDURES FOR DIRECTIONAL SYSTEMS IN UNLICENSED BANDS
    Publication number: 20230015536
    Abstract: A method to reserve a directional channel, such as in an unlicensed spectrum for instance, is disclosed. In an example embodiment, the method may be performed by a receiving node, such as a user equipment (UE) for instance. In such method, the receiving node may receive an enhanced directional transmit request message from a transmitting node and transmit an enhanced directional transmit confirmation message using one or more first beams, with at least one first beam being directed in a first direction towards the transmitting node. Further, the receiving node may transmit at least one additional enhanced directional transmit confirmation message using one or more second beams, with at least one second beam being directed in a second direction towards a potentially interfering node. In the method, the second direction is a different direction than the first direction.
