Electronic device and method for wireless communication and computer-readable storage medium
The present disclosure provides an electronic device and a method for wireless communication and a computer-readable storage medium. An electronic device comprising: a processing circuit configured to: generate, where a user equipment accesses an unauthorized frequency band successfully, an indication representing whether sharing a channel occupancy time of the user equipment with other user equipment is permitted; and send the indication to a base station or the other user equipment.
1. An electronic apparatus configured to operate as user equipment (UE) for wireless communications, comprising:
processing circuitry, configured to:
acquire, from a second UE having accessed into an unlicensed frequency band successfully, channel occupancy time sharing information indicating that at least a portion of a channel occupancy time assigned to the second UE may be shared with another UE; and
perform communication on the unlicensed frequency band with the second UE within at least the portion of the channel occupancy time,
wherein the channel occupancy time sharing information is transmitted by the second UE upon determining that at least the portion of the channel occupancy time assigned to the second UE may be shared with the another UE.
2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the portion of the channel occupancy time is shared with the another UE through a physical sidelink shared channel of the second UE.
3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the indication is denoted by an information bit of one bit added in uplink control information, or
wherein the indication is denoted by multiplexing a channel occupancy time sharing indicator in uplink control information, wherein the channel occupancy time sharing indicator denotes whether to allow a base station to transmit control signaling by sharing the channel occupancy time of the second UE.
4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to instruct the another UE to share the channel occupancy time of the second UE through downlink control information, so that the another UE accesses into the spectrum resources in the channel occupancy time of the second UE without performing channel detection or by just performing a simplified version of channel detection.
5. A method performed by an electronic apparatus configured to operate as a user equipment (UE) for wireless communications, the method comprising:
acquiring, from a second UE having accessed into an unlicensed frequency band successfully, channel occupancy time sharing information indicating that at least a portion of a channel occupancy time assigned to the UE may be shared with another UE; and
performing communication on the unlicensed frequency band with the second UE within at least the portion of the channel occupancy time,
wherein the channel occupancy time sharing information is transmitted by the second UE upon determining that at least the portion of the channel occupancy time assigned to the second UE may be shared with the another UE.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the portion of the channel occupancy time is shared with the another UE through a physical sidelink shared channel of the second UE.
7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the indication is denoted by an information bit of one bit added in uplink control information, or
wherein the indication is denoted by multiplexing a channel occupancy time sharing indicator in uplink control information, wherein the channel occupancy time sharing indicator denotes whether to allow a base station to transmit control signaling by sharing the channel occupancy time of the second UE.
8. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising: instructing the another UE to share the channel occupancy time of the second UE through downlink control information, so that the another UE accesses into the spectrum resources in the channel occupancy time of the second UE without performing channel detection or by just performing a simplified version of channel detection.
9. A non-transitory computer readable product containing instructions for causing a user equipment (UE) to perform a method, the method comprising:
acquire, from a second UE having accessed into an unlicensed frequency band successfully, channel occupancy time sharing information indicating that at least a portion of a channel occupancy time assigned to the second UE may be shared with another UE; and
perform communication on the unlicensed frequency band with the second UE within at least the portion of the channel occupancy time,
wherein the channel occupancy time sharing information is transmitted by the second UE upon determining that at least the portion of the channel occupancy time assigned to the second UE may be shared with the another UE.
