User Equipment Initiated Listen-Before-Talk

摘要

The present disclosure describes systems and methods directed to a user equipment (UE) initiating a listen-before-talk mode at a base station. The described systems and methods include the UE determining that wireless-communication interferences proximate to the UE violate a criterion and sending, to the base station, a listen-before-talk request message that includes LBT control parameters. The base station then configures its wireless-communication components to perform downlink transmissions to the user equipment in a listen-before-talk mode that conforms to the LBT control parameters.
