Consecutive listen-before-talk procedures based on bandwidth part switching
A base station may transmit, to a wireless device, configuration parameters of a first bandwidth part (BWP) and a second BWP of an unlicensed cell. The base station may determine, for the wireless device and with the first BWP being an active BWP, a first number of consecutive listen before talk (LBT) procedures, for a first channel of the active BWP, performed based on a contention window being a maximum contention window of a plurality of contention windows corresponding to the first channel. Based on switching from the first BWP to the second BWP as the active BWP, the base station may determine, for the wireless device, a second number of consecutive LBT procedures, for a second channel of the active BWP, performed based on the contention window being the maximum contention window of a plurality of contention windows corresponding to the second channel.
