Network node, wireless device and methods therein, for scheduling one or more bearers and applying a listen-before-talk setting, respectively
First Claim
1. A method performed by a network node for scheduling a bearer for transmission to or from a wireless device, the wireless device being serviced by the network node, the method comprising:
- calculating a weight for the bearer, based on an indication of a quality of service associated with information to be transmitted in the bearer; and
scheduling the bearer for transmission to or from the wireless device based on the calculated weight,wherein the calculated weight corresponds to a Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, setting, the LBT setting comprising an LBT algorithm and its corresponding one or more parameters, andwherein the scheduling comprises a multi-carrier operation, the multi-carrier operation further comprising;
scheduling data associated with a higher indication of quality of service to be transmitted in one or more master carriers, andscheduling data associated with a lower indication of quality of service to be transmitted in one or more slave carriers, transmission in the one or more slave carriers being only performed after an outcome of a period of observation of a radio channel for transmission is that the radio channel is idle.

Abstract
Method performed by a network node for scheduling one or more bearers for transmission to or from a wireless device. The wireless device is serviced by the network node. The network node calculates a weight for each bearer of the one or more bearers. The calculating is based on an indication of a quality of service associated with information to be transmitted in each bearer of the one or more bearers. The network node schedules the one or more bearers for transmission to or from the wireless device based on the calculated weight. The calculated weight corresponds to a Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, setting. The LBT setting comprises an LBT algorithm and its corresponding one or more parameters.

7. A method performed by a wireless device serviced by a network node, the method comprising:
-
receiving, from the network node, an indication of a Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, setting corresponding to a weight to be applied by the wireless device when performing an LBT, wherein the LBT setting comprises an LBT algorithm and its corresponding one or more parameters; and applying the LBT setting of the received indication when performing the LBT, wherein the weight is for a bearer established between the network node and the wireless device, and the weight is based on an indication of a quality of service associated with information to be transmitted in the bearer, and wherein the applying of the LBT setting of the received indication further comprises; transmitting data associated with a higher indication of quality of service in one or more master carriers, and transmitting data associated with a lower indication of quality of service in one or more slave carriers, the transmission in the one or more slave carriers being only performed after an outcome of a period of observation of a radio channel for transmission is that the radio channel is idle.

8. A network node configured to:
-
schedule a bearer for transmission to or from a wireless device, and service the wireless device, wherein in scheduling the bearer, the network node is further configured to; calculate a weight for the bearer, based on an indication of a quality of service associated with information to be transmitted in the bearer; and schedule the bearer for transmission to or from the wireless device based on the calculated weight, wherein the calculated weight corresponds to a Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, setting, the LBT setting comprising an LBT algorithm and its corresponding one or more parameters, and wherein in scheduling the bearer, the network node is further configured to perform a multi-carrier operation comprising; scheduling data associated with a higher indication of quality of service to be transmitted in one or more master carriers, and scheduling data associated with a lower indication of quality of service to be transmitted in one or more slave carriers, transmission in the one or more slave carriers being only performed after an outcome of a period of observation of a radio channel for transmission is that the radio channel is idle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A wireless device configured to be serviced by a network node, the wireless device being further configured to:
-
receive, from the network node, an indication of a Listen-Before-Talk, LBT, setting corresponding to a weight to be applied by the wireless device when performing an LBT, wherein the LBT setting comprises an LBT algorithm and its corresponding one or more parameters; and apply the LBT setting of the received indication when performing the LBT, wherein the weight is for a bearer configured to be established between the network node and the wireless device and the weight is based on an indication of a quality of service associated with information configured to be transmitted in the bearer, and wherein in applying the LBT setting of the received indication, the wireless device is further configured to; transmit data associated with a higher indication of quality of service in one or more master carriers, and transmit data associated with a lower indication of quality of service in one or more slave carriers, the transmission in the one or more slave carriers being only performed after an outcome of a period of observation of a radio channel for transmission is that the radio channel is idle.
