Indication of pause duration for unlicensed band operation

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive signaling from a base station that identifies a set of channel monitoring parameters associated with monitoring an unlicensed frequency spectrum band, the channel monitoring parameters comprising a length of a pause duration between successive transmission opportunities. The UE may identify a termination of a transmission opportunity in the unlicensed frequency spectrum band. The UE may monitor the unlicensed frequency spectrum band following the termination of the transmission opportunity using the set of channel monitoring parameters.
