    Abstract: Wireless communications systems and methods related to listen-before-talk (LBT) are provided. A first wireless communication device performs an LBT in a channel to contend for a first transmission opportunity (TXOP). The first wireless communication device receives, from a second wireless communication device, a first reservation signal reserving a second TXOP in the channel in response to the LBT, the second TXOP being different from the first TXOP. The first wireless communication device adjusts a signal detection threshold based on transmit power information associated with at least one of the first wireless communication device, the second wireless communication device, first data traffic to be communicated in the first TXOP, or second data traffic to be communicated in the second TXOP. The first wireless communication device determines whether to yield channel access during the second TXOP based on a signal measurement of the first reservation signal and the adjusted signal detection threshold.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for wireless communication of an apparatus, e.g., a UE and/or a base station. In one aspect, the apparatus may measure a plurality of beams from a base station or a UE, the plurality of beams corresponding to a plurality of subbands of a wideband channel. The apparatus may also determine whether the plurality of beams include one or more candidate beam groups for each subband of the plurality of subbands. Additionally, the apparatus may transmit, upon determining that the plurality of beams include one or more candidate beam groups for at least one subband of the plurality of subbands, an indication of the one or more candidate beam groups for the at least one subband of the plurality of subbands.

    Abstract: To improve overall throughput and reliability of communications for a user equipment (UE) on a shared radio spectrum, the UE may share an acquired transmission opportunity (TxOP) with multiple transmission receive points (TRPs) or peer UEs. In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus is configured to trigger at least one TRP or at least one peer UE to share an acquired TxOP, and receive downlink/uplink transmissions from the at least one TRP or peer UE during the TxOP based in part on a listen before talk (LBT) indication and a TxOP sharing mode. The apparatus is also configured to obtain the TxOP via an LBT procedure and to adjust a contention window (CW) of the LBT procedure based on a success-failure ratio the downlink/uplink transmissions from the at least one TRP or peer UE.
