Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for UE assistance for no-LBT based unlicensed channel access. A processor () calculates a combined gain from a combination of an antenna configuration gain and a beamforming gain for at least one transmission beam. The processor () determines if the at least one transmission beam can be used for a no-LBT based channel access mechanism in an unlicensed band with or without a channel occupancy duration restriction based on the combined gain. The processor () transmits, via a transceiver (), to a network node, information that indicates whether the at least one transmission beam can be used for a no-LBT based channel access mechanism in an unlicensed band with or without a channel occupancy duration restriction, or whether the network node can apply an LBT-based channel access mechanism, or some combination thereof.
