Abstract

See full text

Provided are methods, corresponding apparatuses, and computer program products for performing out-of-band sensing on an unlicensed frequency band. A method comprises sending a configuration message for configuring measurement on at least one channel in a frequency band of a primary system; receiving a measurement report made based upon the configuration message; and determining the usability of the at least one channel based upon the measurement report, wherein the configuration message includes information regarding a respective predetermined threshold of energy detection or primary-system-feature detection, and the measurement report is for reception when a measured energy detection value or a measured primary-system-feature detection value of a received signal on the at least one channel is less than the respective predetermined threshold. With the claimed inventions, the spectrum efficiency would be improved and interference between a secondary system and an LTE system could be alleviated.
