8. FHSS Requirements according to [2] March 2009
Listen Before Talk (LBT) has to be applied at each hopping channel.
Carrier power is limited to 25 mWerp [1]

9. Listen Before Talk (LBT)
March 2009
Listen Before Talk (LBT)
Low Duty Cycles can be avoided when applying LBT together with Adaptive Frequency Agility (AFA) [2]
Listening Period:
Fixed part of 5ms
Additional pseudo random part up to 5ms with 0.5 ms resolution if channel is busy at the first try
