Abstract

Claims (38)

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

receiving, from a base station (BS) on a first carrier in a first period, downlink control information (DCI) for a scheduled uplink (UL) transmission; and

performing the scheduled UL transmission on a second carrier based on a first procedure for an intra-period scheduling or a second procedure for a cross-period scheduling,

wherein the scheduled UL transmission is associated with a channel occupancy that is initiated by the BS, and the UE is configured to perform the scheduled UL transmission after sensing, and

wherein the first procedure for the intra-period scheduling is performed for the scheduled UL transmission, based on that, in time domain, the scheduled UL transmission is confined within the first period where the DCI is received.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, based on the scheduled UL transmission being confined in the first period in which the DCI is received,

the UE skips sensing procedure for checking whether the BS has initiated the channel occupancy for the scheduled UL transmission.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein, based on the scheduled UL transmission being configured in the first period in which the DCI is received, the UE determines that BS has already initiated the channel occupancy for the scheduled UL transmission, while skipping the sensing procedure.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the scheduled UL transmission in the first period is performed based on a shared-channel occupancy time (COT).

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI received in the first carrier is configured for cross-carrier scheduling of the scheduled UL transmission in the second carrier.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI includes information for scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) and the scheduled UL transmission on the second carrier is a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission including a hybrid automatic repeat request-acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK) for the PDSCH.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program for performing the method of claim 1 .

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second procedure for the cross-period scheduling comprises a sensing procedure for checking whether the BS has initiated the channel occupancy for the scheduled UL transmission.

9. A device comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

a processor configured to perform operations by executing the instructions, the operations comprising:

receiving, from a base station (BS) on a first carrier in a first period, downlink control information (DCI) for a scheduled uplink (UL) transmission; and

performing the scheduled UL transmission on a second carrier based on a first procedure for an intra-period scheduling or a second procedure for a cross-period scheduling,

wherein the scheduled UL transmission is associated with a channel occupancy that is initiated by the BS, and the device is configured to perform the scheduled UL transmission after sensing, and

wherein the first procedure for the intra-period scheduling is performed for the scheduled UL transmission, based on that, in time domain, the scheduled UL transmission is confined within the first period where the DCI is received.

10. The device of claim 9 , further comprising:

a transceiver configured to transmit or receive a wireless signal under control of the processor,

wherein the device is a user equipment (UE) configured to operate in a wireless communication system.

11. The device of claim 9 , wherein the device is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) or a digital signal processing device configured control a user equipment (UE) to operate in a wireless communication system.

12. A method performed by a base station (BS), the method comprising:

transmitting, to a user equipment (UE) on a first carrier in a first period, downlink control information (DCI) for a scheduled uplink (UL) transmission; and

receiving, on a second carrier the scheduled UL transmission of the UE based on a first procedure for an intra-period scheduling or a second procedure for a cross-period scheduling,

wherein the scheduled UL transmission is associated with a channel occupancy that is initiated by the BS,

wherein the BS configures the UE to perform the scheduled UL transmission after channel sensing,

wherein the scheduled UL transmission is confined within the first period where the DCI is transmitted, and

wherein the scheduled UL transmission being confined within the first period is received based on the first procedure for the intra-period scheduling.

13. A base station (BS) comprising:

a transceiver; and

a processor configured to control the transceiver to transmit, to a user equipment (UE) on a first carrier in a first period, downlink control information (DCI) for a scheduled uplink (UL) transmission, and to receive, on a second carrier, the scheduled UL transmission of the UE based on a first procedure for an intra-period scheduling or a second procedure for a cross-period scheduling,

wherein the scheduled UL transmission is associated with a channel occupancy that is initiated by the BS, and

wherein the BS configures the UE to perform the scheduled UL transmission after channel sensing,

wherein the scheduled UL transmission is confined within the first period where the DCI is transmitted, and

wherein the scheduled UL transmission being confined within the first period is received based on the first procedure for the intra-period scheduling.
