Abstract

A device for handling channel access procedure includes a storage device and a processing circuit coupled to the storage device and configured to execute instructions stored in the storage device. The storage device is configured for storing the instructions of receiving an indication for an uplink transmission; determining at least one parameter of the device for a listen-before-talk procedure according to a capability of the device or a signaling from a base station; and performing the uplink transmission according to the indication.

Claims (31)

1. A device for handling channel access procedure, comprising:

a storage device, for storing instructions of:

receiving an indication for an uplink transmission;

determining at least one parameter of the device for a listen-before-talk procedure according to a capability of the device or a signaling from a base station; and

performing the uplink transmission according to the indication; and

a processing circuit, coupled to the storage device, configured to execute the instructions stored in the storage device,

wherein the listen-before-talk procedure involves energy detection to determine whether a channel is occupied, and the at least one parameter of the device comprises an energy detection threshold for the listen-before-talk procedure;

wherein the device is a user equipment (UE);

wherein the device adjusts the energy detection threshold according to the capability of the device or the signaling from the base station;

wherein the energy detection threshold corresponds to a panel index of the device;

wherein information about the energy detection threshold corresponding to the panel index of the device is transmitted by means of the indication for the uplink transmission.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the signaling from the base station is comprised in the indication.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further comprises reporting the capability of the device.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the capability of the device comprises beamwidth of the device.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the beamwidth of the device is wide beamwidth, narrow beamwidth, or variable beamwidth.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter of the device comprises a channel sensing time for the listen-before-talk procedure.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one parameter of the device comprises beamwidth of the device.

8. A method for handling channel access procedure, wherein the method is performed by a device, comprising:

receiving an indication for an uplink transmission;

determining at least one parameter of the device for a listen-before-talk procedure according to a capability of the device or a signaling from a base station; and

performing the uplink transmission according to the indication, wherein the listen-before-talk procedure involves energy detection to determine whether a channel is occupied, and the at least one parameter of the device comprises an energy detection threshold for the listen-before-talk procedure;

wherein the device is a user equipment (UE);

wherein the device adjusts the energy detection threshold according to the capability of the device or the signaling from the base station;

wherein the energy detection threshold corresponds to a panel index of the device;

wherein information about the energy detection threshold corresponding to the panel index of the device is transmitted by means of the indication for the uplink transmission.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the signaling from the base station is comprised in the indication.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the instructions further comprises reporting the capability of the device.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the capability of the device comprises beamwidth of the device.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the beamwidth of the device is wide beamwidth, narrow beamwidth, or variable beamwidth.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one parameter of the device comprises a channel sensing time for the listen-before-talk procedure.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one parameter of the device comprises beamwidth of the device.
