November 2024 doc.: IEEE 15-24-0595-02-04ab Latest BT-SIG Proposal in BRAN(24)126018 4.3.6.3.5.2 An NB CCA detects the presence of other transmissions. An NB CCA shall have a duration of not less than 18 s. An NB channel is an occupied NB channel as long as transmissions in that NB channel are present at a power level greater than the ED Threshold (EDT) in clause 4.3.6.3.6. The power level is determined by integrating the received power over the NB channel, and then normalizing to per MHz power. The received power shall be measured at the interface between the equipment and the antenna assembly. If no transmissions are present at a power level greater than the EDT, the NB channel is an unoccupied NB channel. If the NB channel is an occupied NB channel, the NBE shall not transmit on the NB channel. Transmissions may start on an unoccupied NB channel and shall start immediately upon a completed NB CCA. 4.3.6.3.5.3 NBE Channel Access NBE shall perform an NB CCA before transmitting on an NB channel, except when the gap to a prior transmission or reception on the same NB channel is less than 18 s. If an NB CCA indicates an occupied NB channel, NBE may perform a new NB CCA on another NB channel after at least 50 s or on the same NB channel after at least 100 s. NBE shall leave a 100 s or longer idle gap at least every 10 ms. TBD, placeholder to possibly address 'multiple high duty cycle NBEs' topic.
