The wireless device 14-2 can simultaneously beamform and transmit on the licensed carrier (F1) and the unlicensed carrier (F2) but with restricted beams (in terms of how narrow these beams are, that is with restrictions on what precoding weights are applied) and restricted transport format and/or low data rate. This is referred to herein as Constraint C3.
In some embodiments, the additional constraints and assumptions apply:
The wireless device 14-2 autonomously decides when to transmit on the unlicensed carrier (F2), depending on when the wireless device 14-2 receives downlink data from the serving LPN 12-2. This is referred to herein as Assumption A1.
The wireless device 14-2 must transmit in granted (i.e., scheduled) time slots and frequency resources on the licensed carrier (F1) uplink to its serving HPN 12-1.
