Abstract

A wireless device receives one or more messages. The one or more messages comprise configuration parameters of a cell. The configuration parameters indicate: a plurality of slot format combinations of the cell; a plurality of reference signals (RS) of the cell; and a channel occupancy time (COT) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI). The wireless device receives a downlink control information (DCI) scrambled by the COT-RNTI indicating a slot format combination of the plurality of slot format combinations, for an RS of the plurality of RSs. A channel occupancy time (COT) structure is determined for the RS based on the slot format combination. A transport block is transmitted, via uplink resources of the cell, based on the COT structure.

Claims (27)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of a cell, wherein the configuration parameters indicate:

a plurality of slot format combinations of the cell;

a plurality of reference signals (RS) of the cell; and

a channel occupancy time (COT) radio network temporary identifier (RNTI);

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) scrambled by the COT-RNTI indicating a slot format combination, of the plurality of slot format combinations, for an RS of the plurality of RSs;

determining a channel occupancy time (COT) structure for the RS based on the slot format combination; and

transmitting, via uplink resources of the cell, a transport block based on the COT structure.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the DCI comprises receiving the DCI at the beginning of the COT.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the DCI comprises receiving the DCI at multiple positions of the COT.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the multiple positions of the COT comprise at least one of: multiple time domain positions in the COT; and multiple frequency domain positions in the COT.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the DCI comprises receiving the DCI based on a configured periodicity by a base station.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the DCI comprises at least one of: monitoring physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) indicating the COT structure; and decoding the PDCCH with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by the COT-RNTI.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the COT-RNTI comprises a value configured by a base station.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the COT structure comprises determining a slot format for each slot of the COT based on the DCI.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the transport block comprises transmitting the transport block via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein a length of the slot format combination in the time domain is equal to or larger than a length of the COT.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI is transmitted via a group common PDCCH.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI comprises a plurality of fields and each field of the plurality of fields is associated with a RS.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of slot format combinations comprises one or more slot formats for a plurality of slots.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein one or more of the one or more slot formats are same.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the plurality of slots comprise one or more mini-slots or slots.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the COT comprises a maximum COT (MCOT).

17. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing a listen-before-talk procedure based on the COT structure before the transmitting the transport block.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining the COT structure for the RS comprises determining the COT structure associated with the RS.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RS comprises at least one of: a demodulation reference signal (DMRS); a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS); and a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB).

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the transport block comprises transmitting the transport block with a spatial domain transmission filter based on the RS.
