Abstract
Channel activity and subsequent access is determined by antenna selection. A sensing period is allocated into slots, dependent on the number of available antennas. For each slot, a distinct set of antennas is used for sensing for channel activity. Results of channel activity measurements for the slots are combined to form a channel activity report.
