Communication device, communication method, and communication program
A communication device ( 20 ) includes a sensing unit ( 231 ) that performs channel sensing in an unlicensed band, and a notification unit ( 232 ) that notifies another communication device of space domain information, as channel occupancy information indicating that channel occupancy is performed when the sensing succeeds.
1. A communication device comprising:
a sensor that performs channel sensing in an unlicensed band; and
a transmitter that notifies another communication device of space domain information, as channel occupancy information indicating that channel occupancy is performed when the sensing succeeds,
wherein the transmitter notifies of at least one of:
information about a horizontal angle or elevation angle of the beam transmitted by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information, or
information about polarization of the beam transmitted by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information.
2. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitter notifies of information about a beam transmitted by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information.
3. The communication device according to claim 2 , wherein
the beam information includes at least one of a beam index, a synchronization signals/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) index, an index corresponding to a Channel State Information Reference Signal (CSR-RS) port, or a Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state, or a combination thereof.
4. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitter notifies, as the channel occupancy information, of information about a communication device adjacent to the communication device, information about a cell adjacent to a cell assigned to the communication device, or information about a transmission and reception point (TRP).
5. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitter notifies of bitmap information corresponding to the space domain information, as the channel occupancy information.
6. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitter notifies of information in which the space domain information is formatted according to a number of slot format indicator (SFI), as the channel occupancy information.
7. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitter further notifies of information about an uplink resource having been occupied by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information.
8. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitter further notifies of information about a downlink resource having been occupied by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information.
9. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitter further notifies, as the channel occupancy information, of a resource that is neither an uplink being occupied by the communication device nor a downlink being occupied by the communication device.
10. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitter further notifies of frequency domain information, as the channel occupancy information.
11. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein
the transmitter further notifies of code domain information, as the channel occupancy information.
12. A communication method performed by a communication device, the method comprising:
performing channel sensing in an unlicensed band; and
notifying another communication device of space domain information, as channel occupancy information indicating that channel occupancy is performed when the sensing succeeds,
wherein the notifying includes at least one of:
notifying of information about a horizontal angle or elevation angle of the beam transmitted by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information, or
information about polarization of the beam transmitted by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information.
13. The communication method according to claim 12 , wherein
the notifying includes notifying of information about a beam transmitted by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information.
14. The communication method according to claim 12 , wherein
the notifying includes notifying, as the channel occupancy information, of information about a communication device adjacent to the communication device, information about a cell adjacent to a cell assigned to the communication device, or information about a transmission and reception point (TRP).
15. A non-transitory computer readable device containing instructions for causing a computer included in a communication device to perform a method, the method comprising:
performing channel sensing in an unlicensed band; and
notifying another communication device of space domain information, as channel occupancy information indicating that channel occupancy is performed when the sensing succeeds,
wherein the notifying includes at least one of:
notifying of information about a horizontal angle or elevation angle of the beam transmitted by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information, or
information about polarization of the beam transmitted by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information.
16. The communication program according to claim 15 , wherein the notifying further comprises:
notifying of information about a beam transmitted by the communication device, as the channel occupancy information.
