Abstract
Network operators are looking towards LTE License Assisted Access (LAA) as a means of extending capacity by offloading traffic to unlicensed bands. However, operation in these bands requires abiding to certain coexistence rules in terms of channel access. The description of these rules in existing literature is not always in line with the latest standards. Therefore, in this paper, we clarify the operation of LAA, focusing on channel access and methods of providing Quality of Service (QoS) support. In terms of coexistence, we evaluate the impact of LAA under its various QoS settings on Wi-Fi performance in an experimental testbed. Finally, we describe the upcoming research challenges for LTE-based technologies in unlicensed bands considering the latest developments.
This paper is a good summary: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.11002.pdf And of course all other unlicensed band users do this. Again, this is a regulatory requirement. And ultimately, it is not just that you need to ensure others have access to the band, you also need to be robust in…
