User equipments, base stations, and methods
A method for a user equipment (UE) which communicates with a base station is described. The method may comprise acquiring radio resource control (RRC) configuration information. The RRC configuration information may indicate a configuration of downlink control (DCI) format 2_0. The method may also comprise monitoring a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with the DCI format 2_0. The DCI format 2_0 may include a first information field. The first information field may indicate a remaining channel occupancy duration. The remaining channel occupancy duration may be expressed as the number of OFDM symbol(s) starting from a slot where the DCI format 2_0 is detected.
1. A user equipment (UE) that communicates with a base station, the UE comprising:
higher layer processing circuitry configured to acquire radio resource control (RRC) configuration information, the RRC configuration information indicating a configuration of a downlink control information (DCI) format 2_0; and
receiving circuitry configured to monitor a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with the DCI format 2_0, wherein
the DCI format 2_0 includes a first information field,
the first information field indicates a remaining channel occupancy duration, and
the remaining channel occupancy duration is expressed as a number of at least one Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol starting from a first OFDM symbol of a slot where the DCI format 2_0 is detected.
2. A base station that communicates with a user equipment (UE), the base station comprising:
higher layer processing circuitry configured to send radio resource control (RRC) configuration information, the RRC configuration information indicating a configuration of a downlink control information (DCI) format 2_0; and
transmitting circuitry configured to transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) with the DCI format 2_0, wherein
the DCI format 2_0 includes a first information field,
the first information field indicates a remaining channel occupancy duration, and
the remaining channel occupancy duration is expressed as a number of at least one Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) symbol starting from a first OFDM symbol of a slot where the DCI format 2_0 is detected.
