1. An electronic device in a wireless communication system comprising:
circuitry configured to
configure, for each of a plurality of user equipment (UEs), at least one second cell operating in a licensed frequency band or in an unlicensed frequency band, for carrier aggregation communication, the wireless communication system comprising at least one first cell and one or more second cells operating in the licensed frequency band or in the unlicensed frequency band;
generate energy detection threshold information for each of the at least one second cell operating in the licensed frequency band or in the unlicensed frequency band, in order that at least one of the plurality of UEs perform energy detection on the licensed frequency band or on the unlicensed frequency band based on the energy detection threshold information, wherein the energy detection threshold information is generated based on traffic load and a priority of the plurality of UEs in association with geographical location of the plurality of UEs; and
determine whether transmission is performed using the second cell operating in the licensed frequency band or in the unlicensed frequency band, based on energy detection result from the at least one of the plurality of UEs,
wherein the energy detection threshold information being set by the at least one of the plurality of UEs to be less than a first value and to be greater than a second value on a basis of UE in accordance with a parameter provided by a high-layer,
wherein a first energy detection threshold which is to be set for the at least one second cell of a first UE of the plurality of UEs is greater than a second energy detection threshold which is to be set for the at least one second cell corresponding to a second UE of the plurality of UEs, when the priority of the first UE is higher than the priority of the second UE.
