Implementing Listen Before Talk for 5GHz Spectrum Band
Dear All,
I am trying to create a testbed using openairinterface where my private 5G would utilize the unlicensed spectrum band of 5GHz. In this band, I need to implement the Listen Before Talk (LBT) mechanism as mentioned in the Rel 14/15. I have made the necessary changes to make the gNB operate in the 5GHz band using the following configuration for B210:
#spCellConfigCommon
physCellId = 0;
# downlinkConfigCommon
#frequencyInfoDL
# this is 3600 MHz + 43 PRBs@30kHz SCS (same as initial BWP)
absoluteFrequencySSB = 744000#641280;
dl_frequencyBand = 46;
# this is 3600 MHz
dl_absoluteFrequencyPointA = 743334#640008;
#scs-SpecificCarrierList
dl_offstToCarrier = 0;
# subcarrierSpacing
# 0=kHz15, 1=kHz30, 2=kHz60, 3=kHz120
dl_subcarrierSpacing = 1;
dl_carrierBandwidth = 106;
#initialDownlinkBWP
#genericParameters
# this is RBstart=27,L=48 (275*(L-1))+RBstart
initialDLBWPlocationAndBandwidth = 28875; # 6366 12925 12956 28875 12952
# subcarrierSpacing
# 0=kHz15, 1=kHz30, 2=kHz60, 3=kHz120
initialDLBWPsubcarrierSpacing = 1;
#pdcch-ConfigCommon
initialDLBWPcontrolResourceSetZero = 12;
initialDLBWPsearchSpaceZero = 0;
Now, I am wondering how to implement the LBT access mechanism (specially Category 3 with fixed contention window size).
Thank you in advance for your kind guidance.
