1. A method of wireless communication, the method comprising:
transmitting, from a small cell network entity, control information to a user equipment (UE) via a licensed band and according to a first communication protocol associated with the licensed band and a first set of parameter values;
monitoring, at the small cell network entity, an unlicensed band for one or more network devices operating according to a second communication protocol on the unlicensed band, the first communication protocol distinct from the second communication protocol;
adjusting, by the small cell network entity, the first set of parameter values based on operating characteristics of the one or more network devices to generate an adjusted set of parameter values; and
transmitting, from the small cell network entity, an instruction to the UE to communicate on the unlicensed band according to the first communication protocol and the adjusted set of parameter values.
