Abstract
Techniques are described to provide to discourage use of an unlicensed spectrum channel by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) technologies. In one example, a method includes performing a plurality of wireless transmissions for an unlicensed channel, wherein performing the plurality of wireless transmissions comprises: determining whether a next wireless transmission is proximate to a Discovery Reference Signal (DRS) transmission window; based on determining that the next wireless transmission is proximate to the DRS transmission window, determining whether the unlicensed channel is available; and based on determining that the unlicensed channel is available, starting the next wireless transmission before the DRS transmission window, wherein the next wireless transmission overlaps the DRS transmission window.
