1. A method of configuring a Discovery Reference Signaling (DRS) on a shared communication medium, comprising:
- executing a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) protocol to determine whether to begin transmission within a DRS Measurement Timing Configuration (DMTC) window; and
transmitting, based on a result of the executing, a multi-subframe DRS within the DMTC window, the multi-subframe DRS including a plurality of DRS subframes that each includes a plurality of symbols.

Abstract
In an embodiment, an access point executes a Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) protocol to determine whether to begin transmission within a DRS Measurement Timing Configuration (DMTC) window. The access point transmits, based on a result of the execution, a multi-subframe DRS within the DMTC window, the multi-subframe DRS including a plurality of DRS subframes that each includes a plurality of symbols.
