Abstract
Aspects for reducing interference for transmissions in unlicensed frequency bands are disclosed. An apparatus, e.g., a user equipment (UE) with information to transmit, identifies before transmitting the information in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, a specified duration of a listen-before-talk (LBT) operation in that spectrum. Based on the specified duration, the UE reduces a transmission time duration of a slot of the UE to increase a time duration of a remainder of the slot sufficient to prevent, or decrease the likelihood of, a transmission by the UE in the slot from interfering with an LBT operation by another UE.
