TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSMITTING DATA OVER AN UNLICENSED RADIO FREQUENCY SPECTRUM BAND IN ACCORDANCE WITH AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN OPERATORS
First Claim
1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- performing a clear channel assessment (CCA) for a first node associated with a first operator in a deployment of operators over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band; and
transmitting data over the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band when the CCA is successful;
the data being transmitted by the first node in accordance with an agreement between the first operator and a second operator in the deployment of operators.

Abstract
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method includes performing a clear channel assessment (CCA) for a first node associated with a first operator in a deployment of operators over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, and transmitting data over the unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band when the CCA is successful. The data may be transmitted by the first node in accordance with an agreement between the first operator and a second operator in the deployment of operators. A second method includes receiving over an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band, at a user equipment (UE), a first transmission from a first node associated with a first operator in a deployment of operators. The first transmission may include data originating from a second operator in the deployment of operators.
