Abstract
Embodiments of a wireless access node for dynamically transmitting an identification signal and/or detecting identification signals from other transmit nodes when operating in unlicensed spectrum and embodiments of a method of operation thereof are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method in a wireless access node that operates in an unlicensed frequency spectrum comprises determining, based on one or more parameters, whether the wireless access node is to transmit an identification signal and/or detect identification signals from other transmit nodes. The method further comprises operating in accordance with a result of the determining whether to transmit the identification signal and/or to detect identification signals from other transmit nodes. In this manner, throughput can be improved.
