Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method performed in a network node of a communication network, for facilitating downlink transmission in a shared cell served by a group of at least one Listen Before Talk (LBT) capable Transmission Point (TP). The method comprises determining, for each TP of the group, whether an LBT procedure is to be performed before signal transmission by said TP. The method also comprises, based on the determining, controlling the use of LBT procedures in the shared cell.
Claims26
A method performed in a network node of a communication network, for facilitating downlink transmission in a shared cell served by a group of at least one Listen Before Talk, LBT, capable Transmission Point, TP, the method comprising:
- determining, for each TP of the group, whether an LBT procedure is to be performed before signal transmission by said TP;
- and
- based on the determining, controlling the use of LBT procedures in the shared cell by instructing a TP of the group to perform an LBT procedure.

A network node for a communication network configured for facilitating downlink transmission in a shared cell served by a group of at least one Listen Before Talk, LBT, capable Transmission Point, TP, the network node comprising:
- processor circuitry;
- and
- storage storing instructions executable by said processor circuitry whereby said network node is operative to:
- determine, for each TP of the group, whether an LBT procedure is to be performed before signal transmission by said TP;
- and
- based on the determining, control the use of LBT procedures in the shared cell by instructing a TP of the group to perform an LBT procedure.
A method performed in a Listen Before Talk, LBT, capable Transmission Point, TP, serving a shared cell of a communication network, for facilitating downlink transmission in said shared cell, the method comprising receiving instructions to perform an LBT procedure, the instructions being addressed to the TP.
