Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for subchannel-based listen before talk (LBT). An example method that may be performed by a user equipment (UE) includes receiving one or more transmissions indicating one or more allocated subchannels of a frequency band that are allocated during a first time period, the frequency band comprising the one or more allocated subchannels and one or more unallocated subchannels during the first time period; sensing the one or more unallocated subchannels for at least a portion of the first time period prior to a second time period; and transmitting a signal within the frequency band during the second time period based on energy sensed for the one or more unallocated subchannels being less than a threshold.
