4.1 Downlink channel access procedures
An eNB operating LAA Scell(s) shall perform the channel access procedures described in this clause for accessing the
channel(s) on which the LAA Scell(s) transmission(s) are performed.
4.1.1 Channel access procedure for transmission(s) including
PDSCH/PDCCH/EPDCCH
The eNB may transmit a transmission including PDSCH/PDCCH/EPDCCH on a carrier on which LAA Scell(s)
transmission(s) are performed , after first sensing the channel to be idle during the slot durations of a defer duration T ;
d
N N
and after the counter is zero in step 4. The counter is adjusted by sensing the channel for additional slot
duration(s) according to the steps below:
1) set N = N , where N is a random number uniformly distributed between 0 and CW , and go to step 4;
init init p
2) if N > 0 and the eNB chooses to decrement the counter, set N = N −1;
3) sense the channel for an additional slot duration, and if the additional slot duration is idle, go to step 4; else, go to
step 5;
N = 0
4) if , stop; else, go to step 2.
5) sense the channel until either a busy slot is detected within an additional defer duration T or all the slots of the
d
additional defer duration T are detected to be idle;
d
6) if the channel is sensed to be idle during all the slot durations of the additional defer duration T , go to step 4;
d
else, go to step 5;
If an eNB has not transmitted a transmission including PDSCH/PDCCH/EPDCCH on a carrier on which LAA Scell(s)
transmission(s) are performed after step 4 in the procedure above, the eNB may transmit a transmission including
PDSCH/PDCCH/EPDCCH on the carrier, if the channel is sensed to be idle at least in a slot duration T when the eNB
sl
is ready to transmit PDSCH/PDCCH/EPDCCH and if the channel has been sensed to be idle during all the slot
durations of a defer duration T immediately before this transmission. If the channel has not been sensed to be idle in a
d
slot duration T when the eNB first senses the channel after it is ready to transmit or if the channel has been sensed to
sl
T
be not idle during any of the slot durations of a defer duration immediately before this intended transmission, the
d
T
eNB proceeds to step 1 after sensing the channel to be idle during the slot durations of a defer duration .

p min,p
2) if at least Z = 80% of HARQ-ACK values corresponding to PDSCH transmission(s) in reference subframe k

Reference subframe is the starting subframe of the most recent transmission on the carrier made by the eNB, for
which at least some HARQ-ACK feedback is expected to be available.
The eNB shall adjust the value of CW for every priority class p ∈ 1, 2, 3, 4 based on a given reference subframe
