1. A method of determining a channel sensing threshold in uplink channel access of licensed-assisted access, comprising:
determining parameters associated with user equipment; and
determining the channel sensing threshold for the user equipment based on the parameters, wherein said determined channel sensing threshold is employed for uplink channel access of licensed-assisted access;
wherein the determining parameters associated with the user equipment includes determining the following items associated with the user equipment as the parameters:
(a) channel bandwidth;
(b) a transmit power; and
(c) whether another type of radio access point is present;
wherein determining the channel sensing threshold for the user equipment based on the parameters comprises:
increasing or decreasing the channel sensing threshold based on the channel bandwidth and the transmit power; and
decreasing the channel sensing threshold based on a presence of the other type of radio access point.
