Method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving signal in wireless communication system
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a user equipment (UE) may obtain fixed frame period (FFP)-related information, and perform clear channel assessment (CCA) for at least one FFP starting with a UE-initiated channel occupancy time (COT) for transmission of an uplink signal. The FFP-related information may include information about an FFP starting offset and information about an FFP duration or period, and the UE may identify a starting time of the FFP, based on the FFP starting offset having an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol-level granularity.
1. A method of transmitting an uplink (UL) signal in shared spectrum by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS) in a first period for a BS-initiated channel occupancy, downlink control information (DCI) for a scheduled UL transmission related to a UE-initiated channel occupancy; and
performing a procedure for the scheduled UL transmission,
wherein the scheduled UL transmission is not time-aligned with a beginning of a second period for the UE-initiated channel occupancy, and the scheduled UL transmission is confined within the first period, and
wherein the procedure for the scheduled UL transmission comprises:
determining whether to perform or drop the scheduled UL transmission based on whether the UE has already initiated a channel occupancy in the second period, the scheduled UL transmission being dropped based on that the UE has not initiated the channel occupancy in the second period.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled UL transmission is performed based on that the channel occupancy of the UE has been already initiated in the second period.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled UL transmission locates after the beginning of the second period.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled UL transmission is included in the second period.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the BS, configuration information for a channel access in the shared spectrum,
wherein the configuration information is obtained via higher layer signaling.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the configuration information includes information regarding a fixed frame period (FFP) start offset and information regarding a FFP duration or period, and
wherein the FFP start offset has an orthogonal frequency divisional multiplexing (OFDM) symbol-level granularity.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a beginning of the first period is not time-aligned with the beginning of the second period.
8. A non-transitory medium storing instructions, when executed by a processor of a user equipment (UE), that cause the UE to perform operations in shared spectrum, the operations comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS) in a first period for a BS-initiated channel occupancy, downlink control information (DCI) for a scheduled uplink (UL) transmission related to a UE-initiated channel occupancy; and
performing a procedure for the scheduled UL transmission,
wherein the scheduled UL transmission is not time-aligned with a beginning of a second period for the UE-initiated channel occupancy, and the scheduled UL transmission is confined within the first period, and
wherein the procedure for the scheduled UL transmission comprises:
determining whether to perform or drop the scheduled UL transmission based on whether the UE has already initiated a channel occupancy in the second period, the scheduled UL transmission being dropped based on that the UE has not initiated the channel occupancy in the second period.
9. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting an uplink (UL) signal in shared spectrum, the UE comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor configured to control the transceiver to receive, from a base station (BS) in a first period for a BS-initiated channel occupancy, downlink control information (DCI) for a scheduled uplink (UL) transmission related to a UE-initiated channel occupancy, and to perform procedure for the scheduled UL transmission,
wherein the scheduled UL transmission is not time-aligned with a beginning of a second period for the UE-initiated channel occupancy, and the scheduled UL transmission is confined within the first period, and
wherein the procedure for the scheduled UL transmission comprises:
determining whether to perform or drop the scheduled UL transmission based on whether the UE has already initiated a channel occupancy in the second period, the scheduled UL transmission being dropped based on that the UE has not initiated the channel occupancy in the second period.
10. A device configured to control a user equipment (UE) to transmit an uplink (UL) signal in shared spectrum, the device comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor configured to control, based on the instructions, the UE to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving, from a base station (BS) in a first period for a BS-initiated channel occupancy, downlink control information (DCI) for a scheduled UL transmission related to a UE-initiated channel occupancy; and
performing a procedure for the scheduled UL transmission,
wherein the scheduled UL transmission is not time-aligned with a beginning of a second period for the UE-initiated channel occupancy, and the scheduled UL transmission is confined within the first period, and
wherein the procedure for the scheduled UL transmission comprises:
determining whether to perform or drop the scheduled UL transmission based on whether the UE has already initiated a channel occupancy in the second period, the scheduled UL transmission being dropped based on that the UE has not initiated the channel occupancy in the second period.
