- the deployment scenario of the terminal and the base station in an environment in which the existing LTE-L service and the LAA service coexist may be an overlay model or a co-located model.
- the macro base station performs wireless communication with the X terminal and the X 'terminal in the macro region 32 by using a licensed band carrier, and may be connected to a plurality of Radio Remote Heads (RRHs) through an X2 interface.
- RRHs Radio Remote Heads
- Each RRH may perform wireless communication with an X terminal or an X 'terminal in a predetermined region 31 using an unlicensed band carrier.

That is, when the energy corresponding to the LAA message or data is less than -62dBm or a specific ED (Energy Detection) threshold, the WLAN devices may ignore the corresponding message or data and communicate.
- the terminal that performs LTE communication in the unlicensed band may be frequently interrupted by the WLAN equipment.
- LBT List-Before-Talk
- CCA clear channel assessment
- a WLAN device eg, AP, STA performs carrier sensing before transmitting data to check whether a channel is busy.
- a wireless signal of a certain intensity or more is detected in a channel to which data is to be transmitted, the corresponding channel is determined to be in use, and the WLAN device delays access to the corresponding channel. This process is called clear channel evaluation, and the signal level that determines whether a signal is detected is called a CCA threshold.
- the channel is determined to be in an idle state if a wireless signal is not detected in the corresponding channel or if a wireless signal having a strength smaller than the CCA threshold is detected, the channel is determined to be in an idle state.
- the UE having data to be transmitted performs a backoff procedure after a defer period (eg, Arbitration InterFrame Space (AIFS), PIFS (PCF IFS, etc.)).
- a defer period eg, Arbitration InterFrame Space (AIFS), PIFS (PCF IFS, etc.
- the dipper period means the minimum time that the terminal waits after the channel becomes idle.
- the backoff procedure causes the terminal to wait further for a certain time after the dipper deadline. For example, the terminal waits while decreasing the slot interval corresponding to the random number allocated to the terminal in the contention window (CW) while the channel is idle, and exhausts the slot interval. The terminal may attempt to access the channel.
- CW contention window
- the terminal can transmit data over the channel. If the data transfer is successful, the CW size CW is reset to the initial value CWmin. On the other hand, if data transfer fails, the CWS doubles. Accordingly, the terminal receives a new random number within a range twice the previous random number range and performs a backoff procedure in the next CW. In the WLAN, only ACK is defined as reception response information for data transmission. Therefore, the CWS is reset to an initial value when an ACK is received for data transmission, and the CWS is doubled when no feedback information is received for the data transmission.
- LTE since most communication in the unlicensed band is operated based on LBT, LTE also considers LBT in LAA for coexistence with existing devices.
- channel access methods on an unlicensed band in LTE may be classified into the following four categories according to whether LBT is present or applied.
- a time interval in which the channel should be sensed idle is determined before the Tx entity transmits on the channel. Random back-off is not performed.
- the Tx entity has a random number N in CW, and the CW size is defined by the minimum / maximum value of N. CW size is fixed. The random number N is used to determine the time interval in which the channel should be sensed idle before the Tx entity transmits on the channel.
- the Tx entity has a random number N in CW, and the CW size is defined by the minimum / maximum value of N.

- ECCA is applied when the channel is in use or immediately before DL transmission when signal transmission is required. That is, it is determined whether the channel is idle through the ICCA, and data transmission is performed after the ICCA period. If the interference signal is recognized and data transmission is not possible, the data transmission time point may be acquired through a defer period + backoff counter after setting a random backoff counter.

If sensing for energy detection is not performed, the flow proceeds to S324. When performing the energy detection operation, if the energy level is less than the energy detection threshold (that is, idle), the process proceeds to S324. If the energy level exceeds the energy detection threshold (ie busy), the flow returns to S316. That is, one dipper period is applied again after the channel is empty, and N is not counted down during the dipper period.
