Method for clear channel access power signaling in channel occupancy time

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor in communication with the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• perform a directional listen before talk (LBT) with a specific peak mean equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) and beam detection for a transmission burst;
• report, to a base station, a Pout value for channel occupancy time (COT) sharing based, at least in part on the directional LBT, wherein the Pout value specifies an EIRP for a transmission burst;
• and
• receive, from the base station, a Pout value for clear channel assessment (CCA), wherein the Pout value for CCA is based, at least in part, on the reported Pout value.

A non-transitory computer readable memory medium storing program instructions executable by processing circuitry to cause a user equipment device (UE) to:

• detect that an equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) exceeds a threshold;
• reporting, to a base station, a Pout value for channel occupancy time (COT) sharing, wherein the Pout value specifies an EIRP for a transmission burst;
• and
• receive, from the base station, a Pout value for clear channel assessment (CCA), wherein the Pout value for CCA is based, at least in part, on the reported Pout value.
