Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for transmitting an uplink channel in a wireless communication system. The method performed by a terminal comprises the steps of: receiving resource information related to transmission of an uplink channel from a base station; detecting a downlink channel transmitted from the base station; and transmitting the uplink channel to the base station on the basis of the resource information according to the result of detecting the downlink channel, wherein the uplink channel is transmitted within a channel-occupancy time (COT) initiated by the base station or transmitted within a a COT initiated by the terminal.

Claims (35)

1 . A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a communication module; and

a processor configured to control the communication module,

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive configuration information related to a UE fixed frame period (FFP) including a first idle duration, and

perform an uplink (UL) transmission based on whether the UL transmission is associated with either base station (BS)-initiated channel occupancy (CO) or UE-initiated CO,

wherein, when the UL transmission is scheduled by a configured grant (CG),

if a previously-initiated UE-initiated CO is in the UE FFP, the UL transmission is determined as being associated with the previously-initiated UE-initiated CO, and

if no previously-initiated UE-initiated CO is in the UE FFP, whether the UL transmission is determined as being associated with the BS-initiated CO is based on a downlink (DL) channel detection result of the UE, and

wherein, when the UL transmission is performed based on the UE-initiated CO, the UL transmission is performed regardless of whether a duration where the UL transmission is performed is included in a second idle duration in a BS FFP.

2 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein, when the UL transmission is scheduled by downlink control information (DCI), the UL transmission is determined as being associated with the BS-initiated CO or the UE-initiated CO based on information of a channel access-related field in the DCI.

3 . The UE of claim 2 , wherein the DCI includes DL grant information or UL grant information.

4 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the UL transmission is performed as follows:

when the UL transmission is associated with the UE-initiated CO, the UL transmission is performed in a duration other than the first idle duration in the UE FFP, and

when the UL transmission is associated with the BS-initiated CO, the UL transmission is performed in a duration other than the second idle duration in the BS FFP.

5 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein, when the UE detects a DL channel, the UL transmission is determined as being associated with the BS-initiated CO.

6 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the configuration information related to the UE FFP is received through a dedicated radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

7 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the BS FFP and the UE FFP are independently configured.

8 . The UE of claim 1 , wherein the BS FFP and the UE FFP have different starting times.

9 . A method performed by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving configuration information related to a UE fixed frame period (FFP) including a first idle duration; and

performing an uplink (UL) transmission based on whether the UL transmission is associated with either base station (BS)-initiated channel occupancy (CO) or UE-initiated CO,

wherein, when the UL transmission is scheduled by a configured grant (CG),

if a previously-initiated UE-initiated CO is in the UE FFP, the UL transmission is determined as being associated with the previously-initiated UE-initiated CO, and

if no previously-initiated UE-initiated CO is in the UE FFP, whether the UL transmission is determined as being associated with the BS-initiated CO is based on a downlink (DL) channel detection result of the UE, and

wherein, when the UL transmission is performed based on the UE-initiated CO, the UL transmission is performed regardless of whether a duration where the UL transmission is performed is included in a second idle duration in a BS FFP.

10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein, when the UL transmission is scheduled by downlink control information (DCI), the UL transmission is determined as being associated with the BS-initiated CO or the UE-initiated CO based on information of a channel access-related field in the DCI.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the DCI includes DL grant information or UL grant information.

12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the UL transmission is performed as follows:

when the UL transmission is associated with the UE-initiated CO, the UL transmission is performed in a duration other than the first idle duration in the UE FFP, and

when the UL transmission is associated with the BS-initiated CO, the UL transmission is performed in a duration other than the second idle duration in the BS FFP.

13 . The method of claim 9 , wherein, when the UE detects a DL channel, the UL transmission is determined as being associated with the BS-initiated CO.

14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the configuration information related to the UE FFP is received through a dedicated radio resource control (RRC) signaling.

15 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the BS FFP and the UE FFP are independently configured.

16 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the BS FFP and the UE FFP have different starting times.
