Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). An operation method of a base station in a radio communication system and an apparatus therefor are provided. The operation method includes transmitting, to a terminal, configuration information including a configuration of a bandwidth part in an unlicensed spectrum, the bandwidth part including a plurality of subbands, performing a channel access procedure for each of the plurality of subbands included in the bandwidth part, initiating channel access via at least one subband, among the plurality of subbands, determined to be an idle channel according to a result of the channel access procedure, transmitting, to the terminal, the result of the channel access procedure for each subband, among the plurality of subbands, and transmitting, to the terminal, a data channel according to the result of the channel access procedure for each subband, among the plurality of subbands.

1. A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving, from a base station, configuration information associated with a slot format indicator (SFI) via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling;

receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) including information for indicating a channel occupancy duration and information on an availability of resource blocks (RBs) associated with the channel occupancy duration; and

identifying the channel occupancy duration that starts from a first symbol of a slot in which the DCI is received, based on the configuration information associated with SFI and the DCI,

wherein the DCI is associated with a group of UEs, and

wherein the configuration information associated with the SFI includes position information of the information on the availability of RBs in the DCI.

wherein the configuration information associated with the SFI further includes information on the SFI-RNTI.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the information on the availability of RBs includes a bitmap for a set of subbands configured by a higher signaling,

wherein a subband of the set is available, in case that a bit corresponding to the subband of the bitmap is ‘1’

wherein a subband of the set is not available, in case that each bit of the bitmap is ‘0’, and

wherein the subband comprises one or more RBs.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the DCI further includes index information indicating a slot format combination configured by the configuration information associated with SFI, and

wherein the slot formation combination comprises one or more slot formats, each slot format indicating an arrangement of at least one of a downlink symbol, an uplink symbol, or a flexible symbol in a slot.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the slot format combination is used in case that the channel occupancy duration is not configured.

6. A method performed by a base station, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), configuration information associated with a slot format indicator (SFI) via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling; and

transmitting, to the UE, downlink control information (DCI) including information for indicating a channel occupancy duration and information on an availability of resource blocks (RBs) associated with the channel occupancy duration,

wherein the indicated channel occupancy duration starts from a first symbol of a slot in which the DCI is transmitted,

wherein the DCI is associated with a group of UEs, and

wherein the configuration information associated with the SFI includes position information of the information on the availability of RBs in the DCI.

7. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the DCI transmitted with cyclic redundancy check (CRC) scrambled by SFI—radio network temporary identifier (RNTI), and

wherein the configuration information associated with the SFI further includes information on the SFI-RNTI.

8. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the information on the availability of RBs includes a bitmap for a set of subbands configured by a higher signaling,

wherein a subband of the set is available, in case that a bit corresponding to the subband of the bitmap is ‘1’,

wherein a subband of the set is not available, in case that each bit of the bitmap is ‘0’, and

wherein the subband comprises one or more RBs.

9. The method of claim 6 ,

wherein the DCI further includes index information indicating a slot format combination configured by the configuration information associated with SFI,

wherein the slot formation combination comprises one or more slot formats, each slot format indicating an arrangement of at least one of a downlink symbol, an uplink symbol, or a flexible symbol in a slot, and

wherein the slot format combination is used in case that the channel occupancy duration is not configured.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the slot format combination is used in case that the channel occupancy duration is not configured.

11. A user equipment (UE), comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

a controller coupled to the at least one transceiver and configured to:

receive, from a base station, configuration information associated with a slot format indicator (SFI) via a radio resource control (RRC) signaling,
