Abstract
A network configuration of a wireless communication device monitoring an open spectrum is provided. The wireless communication device monitors the open spectrum for a channel occupancy time acquisition signal, in accordance with the configuration and a discontinuous reception cycle.
Claims13
A method of operating a wireless communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a network, a configuration for monitoring an open spectrum,
- in accordance with the configuration and a discontinuous reception cycle, monitoring the open spectrum for a channel occupancy time acquisition signal from an access node of the network,
- based on said monitoring, determining whether or not at least one trigger criterion is met, wherein the at least one trigger criterion comprises a reference reception timing, the reference reception time comprising a reference timing threshold for reception of the channel occupancy time acquisition signal,
- in accordance with said determining whether or not the at least one trigger criterion is met, switching between two or more settings of the discontinuous reception cycle, and
- after switching, applying the setting of the discontinuous reception cycle for two or more periods of the discontinuous reception cycles, wherein the configuration comprises the at least one trigger criterion for said switching between the two or more settings.
