Abstract
This patent document describes, among other things techniques for determining when to switch between a channel access procedure that includes a listen before talk (LBT) process and a channel access procedure that does not include a LBT process. In one aspect, a method of wireless communication is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by a first network node from a second network node, a message specifying a first channel access procedure to be used by the first network node after being powered up. The method further includes selecting, by the first network node, a second channel access procedure to be used after the first channel access procedure after satisfying a condition, wherein if the condition is not satisfied the first network node continues to use the first channel access procedure.
