Detection of fixed service incumbents on an unlicensed radio frequency band

A node for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors operatively coupled to the memory, the memory and the one or more processors configured to:
• receive a configuration associated with measuring an energy level of a first frequency channel of an unlicensed radio frequency band, wherein the configuration indicates a set of measurement occasions during which the energy level is to be measured on the first frequency channel;
• measure the energy level on the first frequency channel in a first measurement occasion, of the set of measurement occasions, according to the configuration;
• and
• operate in association with a second frequency channel of the unlicensed radio frequency band based at least in part on measuring the energy level on the first frequency channel, wherein the second frequency channel is paired with the first frequency channel for the unlicensed radio frequency band.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions for wireless communication, the one or more instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a node, cause the node to:
• receive a configuration associated with measuring an energy level of a first frequency channel of an unlicensed radio frequency band, wherein the configuration indicates a set of measurement occasions during which the energy level is to be measured on the first frequency channel;
• measure the energy level on the first frequency channel in a first measurement occasion, of the set of measurement occasions, according to the configuration;
• and
• operate in association with a second frequency channel of the unlicensed radio frequency band based at least in part on measuring the energy level on the first frequency channel, wherein the second frequency channel is paired with the first frequency channel for the unlicensed radio frequency band.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving a configuration associated with measuring an energy level of a first frequency channel of an unlicensed radio frequency band, wherein the configuration indicates a set of measurement occasions during which the energy level is to be measured on the first frequency channel;
• means for measuring the energy level on the first frequency channel in a first measurement occasion, of the set of measurement occasions, according to the configuration;
• and
• means for operating in association with a second frequency channel of the unlicensed radio frequency band based at least in part on measuring the energy level on the first frequency channel, wherein the second frequency channel is paired with the first frequency channel for the unlicensed radio frequency band.
