Technology-specific listen before talk parameter adjustments for common energy detection thresholds

An apparatus configured for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining, by a network node of a first radio access technology, to access a shared communication channel shared by a plurality of disparate radio access technologies, wherein the first radio access technology includes a common energy detection (ED) threshold for each of the plurality of disparate radio access technologies to access the shared communication channel and at least one other ED threshold different from the common ED threshold to enable an additional access deferral procedure for the shared communication channel, the additional access deferral procedure using the at least one other ED threshold and being in addition to ED access using the common ED threshold;
• means for establishing, by the network node, access to the shared communication channel according to a compensating access feature available to the first radio access technology;
• and
• means for transmitting, by the network node, on the shared communication channel according to the compensating access feature.

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 determine, by a network node of a first radio access technology, to access a shared communication channel shared by a plurality of disparate radio access technologies, wherein the first radio access technology includes a common energy detection (ED) threshold for each of the plurality of disparate radio access technologies to access the shared communication channel and at least one other ED threshold different from the common ED threshold to enable an additional access deferral procedure for the shared communication channel, the additional access deferral procedure using the at least one other ED threshold and being in addition to ED access using the common ED threshold;
• program code executable by the computer operable to cause the computer to establish, by the network node, access to the shared communication channel according to a compensating access feature available to the first radio access technology;
• and
• program code executable by the computer operable to cause the computer to transmit, by the network node, on the shared communication channel according to the compensating access feature.
