Abstract
A system includes multiple techniques of implementing listen before talk functionality to provide multiple mobile communication devices connectivity with a wireless base station.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- monitoring a first bandwidth to acquire access rights via a first listen before talk function implementing a first listen before talk time duration;
- monitoring a second bandwidth to acquire access rights via a second listen before talk function implementing a second listen before talk time duration;
- and
- acquiring access rights to both the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth in response to detecting that wireless signals in both the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth are below respective energy threshold levels during the first listen before talk time duration.

A system comprising:
- connection management hardware operative to:
- monitor a first bandwidth for access rights via a first listen before talk function implementing a first listen before talk time duration;
- monitor a second bandwidth for access rights via a second listen before talk function implementing a second listen before talk time duration;
- and
- acquire access rights to both the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth in response to detecting that a strength of corresponding monitored wireless signals received in both the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth are below respective energy threshold levels during the first listen before talk time duration.
2 more elements
Computer-readable storage hardware having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when carried out by computer processor hardware, cause the computer processor hardware to:
- monitor a first bandwidth to acquire access rights via a first listen before talk function implementing a first listen before talk time duration;
- monitor a second bandwidth to acquire access rights via a second listen before talk function implementing a second listen before talk time duration;
- and
- acquire access rights to both the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth in response to detecting that wireless signals in both the first bandwidth and the second bandwidth are below respective energy threshold levels during the first listen before talk time duration.
