A system includes multiple techniques of implementing listen before talk functionality to provide multiple mobile communication devices connectivity with a wireless base station.
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving notification of a wireless channel scheduled for shared use amongst multiple mobile communication devices;
- detecting use of a first time slot of the wireless channel, the first time slot acquired via a first listen before talk function implemented by a first mobile communication device;
- and
- monitoring, via a second listen before talk function, for non-use of a second time slot of the wireless channel to acquire use of the second time slot amongst the multiple mobile communication devices.

A wireless station comprising:
- communication management hardware operative to;
- receive notification of a wireless channel scheduled for shared use amongst multiple mobile communication devices;
- detect use of a first time slot of the wireless channel, the first time slot acquired via a first listen before talk function implemented by a first mobile communication device;
- and
- monitor, via a second listen before talk function, for non-use of a second time slot of the wireless bandwidth to acquire use of the second time slot amongst the multiple mobile communication devices.
