Abstract

A method of wireless communication includes performing, by a user equipment (UE) device, a channel sensing operation during a first window of a frame period associated with a wireless communication network. Performing the channel sensing operation includes performing a direction-based scan of one or more beams associated with the wireless communication network, and the channel sensing operation is included in a joint sensing operation performed with a base station. The method further includes, based at least in part on a result of the channel sensing operation, determining whether to perform, during a second window of the frame period, one or more communication operations with the base station.
