Abstract

A wireless device receives configuration parameters indicating: a plurality of a channel occupancy time (COT) parameters of a COT of a cell; and a position parameter for the COT of the cell. A downlink control information (DCI) comprising a plurality of fields is received. The position parameter indicates a position of a field, of the plurality of fields. The field indicates a COT parameter, of the plurality of COT parameters. A transport block is transmitted via uplink resources of the COT with the COT parameter.

Claims (57)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, by a wireless device, configuration parameters indicating:

a plurality of a channel occupancy time (COT) parameters of a COT of a cell; and

a position parameter for the COT of the cell;

receiving a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a plurality of fields, wherein:

the position parameter indicates a position of a field, of the plurality of fields; and

the field indicates a COT parameter, of the plurality of COT parameters; and

transmitting a transport block via uplink resources of the COT with the COT parameter.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the COT parameter indicates a length of the COT in terms of symbols.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the COT parameter indicates a slot format combination.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a length of the slot format combination in a time domain is equal to a length of the COT in terms of symbols.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the symbols are orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of COT parameters comprises a plurality of slot format combinations.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the COT parameter indicates a structure of the COT.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the configuration parameters further indicate a slot format indicator-radio network temporary identifier (SFI-RNTI); and

the DCI is scrambled with the SFI-RNTI.

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

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the DCI comprises receiving the DCI at:

multiple time domain positions in the COT; or

multiple frequency domain positions in the COT.

11. A wireless device comprising:

one or more processors; and

memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless device to:

receive configuration parameters indicating:

a plurality of a channel occupancy time (COT) parameters of a COT of a cell; and

a position parameter for the COT of the cell;

receive a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a plurality of fields, wherein:

the position parameter indicates a position of a field, of the plurality of fields; and

the field indicates a COT parameter, of the plurality of COT parameters; and

transmit a transport block via uplink resources of the COT with the COT parameter.

12. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the COT parameter indicates a length of the COT in terms of symbols.

13. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the COT parameter indicates a slot format combination.

14. The wireless device of claim 13 , wherein a length of the slot format combination in a time domain is equal to a length of the COT in terms of symbols.

15. The wireless device of claim 14 , wherein the symbols are orthogonal frequency division multiplexing symbols.

16. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of COT parameters comprises a plurality of slot format combinations.

17. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the COT parameter indicates a structure of the COT.

18. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein:

the configuration parameters further indicate a slot format indicator-radio network temporary identifier (SFI-RNTI); and

the DCI is scrambled with the SFI-RNTI.

19. The wireless device of claim 11 , wherein the DCI is received at a beginning of the COT.

20. A system comprising:

a base station comprising:

one or more first processors; and

first memory storing first instructions that, when executed by the one or more first processors of the base station, cause the base station to:

transmit configuration parameters indicating:

a plurality of a channel occupancy time (COT) parameters of a COT of a cell; and

a position parameter for the COT of the cell; and

transmit a downlink control information (DCI) comprising a plurality of fields, wherein:

the position parameter indicates a position of a field, of the plurality of fields; and

the field indicates a COT parameter, of the plurality of COT parameters; and

a wireless device comprising:

one or more second processors; and

second memory storing second instructions that, when executed by the one or more second processors of the wireless device, cause the wireless device to:

receive the configuration parameters;

receive the DCI; and

transmit a transport block via uplink resources of the COT with the COT parameter.
