摘要: Apparatus and methods of wireless communications are described for determining one or more bands (e.g., guard in local area networks (WLANs)) unused portions an unlicensed spectrum, positioning carriers cellular communication long term evolution (LTE) LTE advanced communication) the bands, performing over spectrum using carriers. In some non-limiting example aspects, may be a standalone mode include primary component carrier (PCC) that is positioned Wi-Fi band. these apparatus further allocating secondary (SCCs) Wi- Fi channels, where SCCs opportunistically tuned turned ON/OFF based on cell loading backhaul constraints.
