Abstract
The present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods of monitoring a region by a transmitting device within a wireless medium for transmissions using at least one directional beam covering the region. Upon determining that the region in the wireless medium is free of transmissions, the transmitting device transmits to a plurality of wireless devices in the region using a plurality of spatially separated directional beams. Other aspects of the disclosure relate to apparatus and methods for receiving an instruction, e.g., at a user equipment (UE), to perform a channel assessment at a first time. The UE monitors a region within a wireless medium for transmissions after receiving the instruction. Upon determining that the region is free of transmissions, the UE may send an acknowledgment of the received instruction.
