Abstract
Techniques are described for wireless communication. A first method may include transmitting a reference signal from an access point over a shared spectrum to a user equipment (UE), and receiving a measurement of the reference signal from the UE. A second method may include receiving at a UE over a shared spectrum a reference signal from an access point, and transmitting a measurement of the reference signal to the access point. In each of the first and second methods, the measurement may indicate interference with the shared spectrum from outside of a clear channel assessment (CCA) range of the access point. A third method may include receiving a plurality of reference signal measurements, where each reference signal measurement corresponds to one of a plurality of access points and indicates interference with a shared spectrum from outside of a CCA range of the corresponding access point, and performing channel selection for the plurality of access points based at least in part on the received reference signal measurements.
