Abstract

Disclosed is a method of transmitting an uplink signal by a user equipment in a wireless communication system. The method includes receiving first information related to an uplink (UL) transmission beam, determining a listen-before-talk (LBT) beam based on the first information, and transmitting the uplink signal through the UL transmission beam based on success of LBT based on the LBT beam.

Claims (25)

1. A method of transmitting an uplink signal by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

receiving first information related to an uplink (UL) transmission beam;

determining a beam for a Channel Access Procedure (CAP) based on the first information; and

transmitting the uplink signal through the UL transmission beam based on success of the CAP based on the beam for the CAP,

wherein, based on the UE indicating a beam correspondence without beam sweeping, the beam for the CAP is determined to be the same as the UL transmission beam.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the UE not indicating the beam correspondence without beam sweeping, the beam for the CAP is determined to cover the UL transmission beam.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the beam for the CAP is redetermined based on failure of the CAP performed M1 times, M1 being a positive integer.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a UL bandwidth part (BWP) is switched based on failure of the CAP performed M1 times based on the redetermined beam for the CAP.

5. A user equipment (UE) for transmitting an uplink signal in a wireless communication system, the UE comprising:

at least one transceiver;

at least one processor; and

at least one memory operably connected to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions causing, when executed, the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving, through the at least one transceiver, first information related to an uplink (UL) transmission beam,

determining a beam for a Channel Access Procedure (CAP) based on the first information, and

transmitting, through the at least one transceiver, the uplink signal through the UL transmission beam based on success of the CAP based on the beam for the CAP,

wherein, based on the UE indicating a beam correspondence without beam sweeping, the beam for the CAP is determined to be the same as the UL transmission beam.

6. The UE of claim 5 , wherein, based on an absence of indication for the support of beam correspondence without beam sweeping by the UE, the beam for the CAP is determined to cover the UL transmission beam.

7. The UE of claim 5 , wherein the beam for the CAP is redetermined based on failure of the CAP performed M1 times, M1 being a positive integer.

8. The UE of claim 7 , wherein a UL bandwidth part (BWP) is switched based on failure of the CAP performed M1 times based on the redetermined beam for the CAP.

9. A method of receiving an uplink signal by a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE), first information related to an uplink (UL) transmission beam; and

receiving the uplink signal through the UL transmission beam from the UE,

wherein the UL signal is received based on a channel for a channel access procedure (CAP) on a sensing beam being sensed to be idle, and

wherein, based on the UE indicating a beam correspondence without beam sweeping, the sensing beam is selected the same as the transmission beam.

10. A non-transitory medium which is readable by a processor and storing instructions cause a processor to perform the method of claim 1 .
