Transmission diversity for FBE idle period handling

An apparatus for wireless communication by a first base station (BS) to ensure full downlink scheduling, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to:
• schedule downlink transmission to at least one device, the scheduling comprising for each fixed frame period of a plurality of consecutive fixed frame periods:
• aligning, in a time domain, an ending boundary of an idle period of the first BS, a first component carrier (CC), or both with an ending boundary of a channel occupancy time (CoT) of at least one other BS, CC, or both, and a starting boundary of the idle period of the first BS, the first CC, or both with a starting boundary of a listen-before-talk (LBT) period adjacent to the CoT of the at least one other BS, CC or both;
• and
• aligning, in the time domain, an ending boundary of a CoT of the first BS, the first CC, or both with an ending boundary of an idle period of the at least one other BS, CC, or both, wherein the first BS and the at least one other BS comprise frame-based equipments (FBEs);
• and
• communicate with the at least one device based on the scheduling;
• and
• a memory coupled with the at least one processor.

• and
• code for communicating with the at least one device based on the scheduling.
