Adaptive energy detection threshold medium access based on deployment and traffic type

An apparatus configured for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for identifying, by a transmitter node, information for transmission on a shared communication channel;
• means for identifying, by the transmitter node, an access trigger condition associated with access of the transmitter node to the shared communication channel;
• means for performing, by the transmitter node, an energy detection (ED) procedure for access to the shared communication channel according to an ED threshold elected, by the transmitter node, from among a plurality of candidate ED thresholds that correspond to the access trigger condition and based on an access priority of the access trigger condition, wherein the access trigger condition includes a threshold error rate;
• and
• means for transmitting, by the transmitter node, the information on the shared communication channel in response to success of the ED procedure.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:

• program code executable by a computer operable to cause the computer to identify, by a transmitter node, information for transmission on a shared communication channel;
• program code executable by the computer operable to cause the computer to identify, by the transmitter node, an access trigger condition associated with access of the transmitter node to the shared communication channel;
• program code executable by the computer operable to cause the computer to perform, by the transmitter node, an energy detection (ED) procedure for access to the shared communication channel according to an ED threshold selected, by the transmitter node, from among a plurality of candidate ED thresholds that correspond to the access trigger condition and based on an access priority of the access trigger condition, wherein the access trigger condition includes a threshold error rate;
• and
• program code executable by the computer operable to cause the computer to transmit, by the transmitter node, the information on the shared communication channel in response to success of the ED procedure.
