Abstract
Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to communications and, more particularly, to channel access for a frequency band. An apparatus detects at least one synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block during searching for a synchronization signal associated with a cell in a communication network. The apparatus determines a configuration related to whether or not a discovery burst transmission window is used for the cell. The apparatus determines, based on the configuration, whether or not the discovery burst transmission window is used for the cell. The apparatus determines at least one assumption to use when monitoring and detecting the synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block, based on whether or not the discovery burst transmission window is used for the cell.
