Abstract

A first node receives a first signaling; performs a first channel sensing operation over a first subband; and transmits a first signal. The first signaling comprises first indication information, used for indicating an Rx parameter of the first channel sensing operation; the first channel sensing operation is used for determining channel occupancy information, the channel occupancy information used for determining whether the first subband can be used by a transmitter of the first signaling for signal transmission; the first signal is used for indicating the channel occupancy information. The receiver in communications is enabled to perform channel sensing and feedback results, hence a reduction in interferences incurred from hidden node issues.
