1. A method of wireless communication, comprising:
dividing, by a base station, a system bandwidth into a plurality of frequency transmission units, wherein the base station operates in a frame-based equipment (FBE) mode;
configuring, by the base station, a pattern of sensing locations in each frame for each frequency transmission unit of the plurality of frequency transmission units, wherein an inter-unit delay of sensing locations between a first frequency transmission unit of the plurality of frequency transmission units and a next adjacent frequency transmission unit of the plurality of frequency transmission units and between a last frequency transmission unit of the plurality of frequency transmission units and the first frequency transmission unit is a fixed duration; and
signaling, by the base station, an indication identifying the plurality of frequency transmission units and the pattern of sensing locations to one or more served user equipments (UEs).
