Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are proposed for managing carrier sensing in a communications system. In order to enable carrier sensing of a beamforming transmission to a served wireless device, a network node transmits a first transmission and a second transmission. The second transmission is the beamforming transmission to the served wireless device and the first transmission is an unhiding signal, which indicates the presence of the second transmission.
