Abstract
Reducing latency in a wireless network includes initiating a sensing period for measuring signal indicators of a plurality of frequency channels of an unlicensed spectrum, determining that one of the plurality of frequency channels is able to sustain a traffic load, interrupting the sensing period, and scheduling one or more cellular subframes during the remainder of the sensing period using the one of the plurality of frequency channels.
