Abstract

Claims (63)

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

receiving, from a base station, downlink control channel including scheduling information for uplink signal transmission, and a result of a channel access procedure of the base station;

based on at least one of the scheduling information and the result of the channel access procedure, identifying a valid resource for a transmission of an uplink signal; and

transmitting, to the base station, the uplink signal based on the valid resource,

wherein the result of the channel access procedure includes information on a channel occupation time for an unlicensed band, and

wherein the uplink signal is transmitted during the channel occupation time.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the downlink control channel includes a listen before talk (LBT) result of the base station, and

wherein the LBT result indicates the result of the channel access procedure.

3. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the valid resource includes a subband determined to be idle based on the result of channel access procedure.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the valid resource includes a frequency resource not included in a guard band based on the scheduling information.

5. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the valid resource is determined based on a guard band, and

wherein the guard band is determined based on a subband occupied by the base station.

6. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the valid resource includes a frequency resource on which the channel access procedure is performed among scheduled frequency resources.

7. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the channel occupation time indicates an occupation time per subband for the unlicensed band.

8. A method performed by a base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

configuring a subband for a channel access procedure;

performing the channel access procedure for the configured subband;

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), downlink control channel including scheduling information for uplink signal transmission, and a result of the channel access procedure of the base station; and

receiving, from the UE, uplink signal based on a valid resource, wherein the valid resource is identified based on at least one of the scheduling information and the result of channel access procedure,

wherein the result of the channel access procedure includes information on a channel occupation time for an unlicensed band, and

wherein the uplink signal is received during the channel occupation time.

9. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the downlink control channel includes a listen before talk (LBT) result of the base station, and

wherein the LBT result indicates the result of the channel access procedure.

10. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the valid resource includes a subband determined to be idle based on the result of channel access procedure.

11. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the valid resource includes a frequency resource not included in a guard band based on the scheduling information.

12. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the valid resource is determined based on a guard band, and

wherein the guard band is determined based on a subband occupied by the base station.

13. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the valid resource includes a frequency resource on which the channel access procedure is performed among scheduled frequency resources.

14. The method of claim 8 ,

wherein the channel occupation time indicates an occupation time per subband for the unlicensed band.

15. A user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

a transceiver; and

at least one processor,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

receive, from a base station, downlink control channel including scheduling information for uplink signal transmission, and a result of a channel access procedure of the base station;

based on at least one of the scheduling information and the result of the channel access procedure, identify a valid resource for a transmission of an uplink signal; and

transmit, to the base station, the uplink signal based on the valid resource,

wherein the result of the channel access procedure includes information on a channel occupation time for an unlicensed band, and

wherein the uplink signal is transmitted during the channel occupation time.

16. The UE of claim 15 ,

wherein the downlink control channel includes a listen before talk (LBT) result of the base station, and

wherein the LBT result indicates the result of the channel access procedure.

17. The UE of claim 15 ,

wherein the valid resource includes a subband determined to be idle based on the result of channel access procedure.

18. The UE of claim 15 ,

wherein the valid resource includes a frequency resource not included in a guard band based on the scheduling information.

19. The UE of claim 15 ,

wherein the valid resource is determined based on a guard band, and

wherein the guard band is determined based on a subband occupied by the base station.

20. The UE of claim 15 ,

wherein the valid resource includes a frequency resource on which the channel access procedure is performed among scheduled frequency resources, and

wherein the channel occupation time indicates an occupation time per subband for the unlicensed band.
