LISTEN-BEFORE-TALK MECHANISM
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- determining, at a first wireless node, that a channel is available based at least in part on a clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure performed on the channel, the first wireless node associated with a first operator; and
transmitting a first message on the channel during a subframe based at least in part on the determining, the first message time aligned in the subframe with a second message transmitted from a second wireless node associated with the first operator, the first message and the second message comprising a header portion that precedes a data portion.

Abstract
Methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses are described for a listen-before-talk (LBT) mechanism. A wireless node, e.g., a base station, may determine that a channel is available based on completing a clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure. The wireless node may be associated with a first operator. The wireless node may transmit a first message on the channel in a subframe based on the CCA procedure. The first message may include a header portion that precedes a data portion. The first message may be time aligned with a second message transmitted from a second wireless node that is associated with the first operator.

23. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
-
a processor; memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions stored in the memory, the instructions being executable by the processor to; determine, at a first wireless node, that a channel is available based at least in part on a clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure performed on the channel, the first wireless node associated with a first operator; and transmit a first message on the channel during a subframe based at least in part on the determining, the first message time aligned in the subframe with a second message transmitted from a second wireless node associated with the first operator, the first message and the second message comprising a header portion that precedes a data portion. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28)

29. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
-
means for determining, at a first wireless node, that a channel is available based at least in part on a clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure performed on the channel, the first wireless node associated with a first operator; and means for transmitting a first message on the channel during a subframe based at least in part on the determining, the first message time aligned in the subframe with a second message transmitted from a second wireless node associated with the first operator, the first message and the second message comprising a header portion that precedes a data portion.

30. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable code for wireless communication, the code executable by a processor to:
-
determine, at a first wireless node, that a channel is available based at least in part on a clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure performed on the channel, the first wireless node associated with a first operator; and transmit a first message on the channel during a subframe based at least in part on the determining, the first message time aligned in the subframe with a second message transmitted from a second wireless node associated with the first operator, the first message and the second message comprising a header portion that precedes a data portion.
