CARRIER SENSE ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION (CSAT) COMMUNICATION SCHEME DETECTION AND MITIGATION IN UNLICENSED SPECTRUM

Systems and methods for Carrier Sense Adaptive Transmission (CSAT) communication scheme identification and mitigation in unlicensed spectrum are disclosed. The identification may comprise, for example, identifying CSAT communication based on a presence of a first signal and an absence of a second signal of a Radio Access Technology (RAT) during a period of time. The mitigation may comprise, for example, limiting transmission of at least a first signal by the RAT on a resource for a period of time associated with an adaptable duty cycle used for the CSAT communication, and transmitting a second signal by the RAT on the resource during the period of time.
