  • Patent number: 11968714
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for clear channel assessment (CCA) enabled narrowband (NB) communications. In some implementations, a device is configured to associate with an NB channel (such as a Bluetooth channel), perform a CCA to assess whether the NB channel is clear, and transmit on the NB channel when clear. If the NB channel is not clear, the device may prevent transmitting on the NB channel. The device may prevent avoiding the NB channel after the first time that the NB channel is not clear. If the NB channel remains not clear (such as over a number of CCAs for the NB channel), the device may avoid the NB channel by removing the NB channel for FH for an amount of time. In some implementations, the device may be configured to perform frame based equipment (FBE) CCAs for one or more NB channels.

  • Patent number: 11641672
    Abstract: Adaptive energy detection (ED) threshold medium access is discussed based on deployment and traffic type. The network nodes sharing a shared communication network are configured with multiple discrete ED thresholds or a range of ED values. As a transmitting node prepares to attempt access to the shared communication spectrum, it identifies an access trigger condition within the network. Such a condition may include traffic type, deployment, or access conditions. In response to detecting an access trigger condition, the transmitting node may select an ED threshold associated with the access trigger condition. Alternatively, upon detection of the access trigger condition, the transmitting node may implement a random ED threshold from the candidate range of ED threshold values.
