Abstract  Abstract

Methods and apparatuses are described in which an unlicensed spectrum is used for Long Term Evolution (LTE) communications. A method by a base station includes transmitting an RTS signal in an unlicensed spectrum or a V-RTS signal in a licensed spectrum addressed to a set of UEs and transmitting a CTS-to-self signal in the unlicensed spectrum wherein when the V-RTS signal is transmitted the CTS-to-self signal is transmitted along with the transmission of the V-RTS signal.
