Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for operation modes on unlicensed spectrum in a wireless communication system including a carrier operating with shared spectrum channel access. A method of operating a UE includes receiving a set of higher layer parameters from a BS over the carrier and determining, from the set of higher layer parameters, a first operation mode for the BS. The method further includes determining, from the set of higher layer parameters, a second operation mode for the UE and transmitting to the BS based on the second operation mode. The first operation mode and the second operation mode include information on whether channel sensing is required before transmission on the carrier operating with shared spectrum channel access.
