Abstract
Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a solution for performing an operation related to a listen-before-talk (LBT) process for a transmission. In an aspect, an apparatus determines a duration of a gap between an end point of a first transmission to be transmitted by a further apparatus and a start point of a cyclic prefix extension prior to a second transmission to be transmitted by the apparatus. The apparatus performs an operation related to an LBT process for the second transmission based on comparisons between the duration of the gap and a plurality of threshold durations associated with a plurality of types of LBT processes. Example embodiments of the present disclosure can increase or even maximize the likelihood of the success of LBT processes.
