Abstract

Various communication systems may benefit from signaling that instructs operation of devices. For example, certain wireless communication systems can benefit from signaling of listen-before-talk type for unlicensed spectrum operation. A method can include receiving a mapping between listen before talk type and a set of one or more of downlink ending partial subframe durations. The method can also include receiving indication of at least one downlink ending partial subframe duration of the plurality of downlink ending partial subframe durations. The method can further include determining a listen before talk type based on the received indication and the received mapping. The method can additionally include communicating with at least one access node based on the determined listen before talk type.
