Abstract
A node in a wireless communication system includes a transceiver to receive one or more configuration parameters to configure the node for communication in an unlicensed frequency band. The node also includes a processor to implement a state machine that transitions, based on the one or more configuration parameters, between an enable state in which the node supports wireless connectivity in the unlicensed frequency band, a disable state in which the node does not support wireless connectivity in the unlicensed frequency band, and a flywheel state in which the node supports wireless connectivity in the unlicensed frequency band for a predetermined time interval before transitioning to the disable state.
