Synchronous channel access based on adaptive channel occupancy time management

A method of wireless communication performed by a node, comprising:

• generating a random number associated with determining a maximum channel occupancy time (MCOT) for a transmission on an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band;
• comparing the random number and a threshold;
• and
• determining the MCOT based at least in part on comparing the random number and the threshold.

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:
• identify a listen-before-talk (LBT) success time at which an LBT procedure, performed by the node, succeeds;
• determine a lag between the LBT success time and a most recent synchronization reference boundary that occurred prior to the LBT success time;
• and
• determine a maximum channel occupancy time (MCOT) for transmissions on an unlicensed radio frequency spectrum band based at least in part on comparing the lag and a threshold.
