Abstract:
The subject matter described herein relates to measurement enhancement in wireless communication. A device informs other devices about the time period during which a channel will be occupied by its transmission, if the device determines to transmit on the channel. A set of occupation time periods can be defined, and then the device can indicate one of the defined occupation time periods to other devices. Upon detection of the indication of the occupation time period, other devices get to know that the channel will be unavailable in at least the indicated time duration, and thus can avoid unnecessary channel sensing or measurement in this time duration to save power.
