Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for a channel access in a wireless communication systems. A method of a UE in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: determining whether, for a first time duration, a channel is sensed as an idle state for a channel access procedure; occupying the channel for a second time duration based on a determination that the channel is sensed as the idle state; and transmitting, for at least a portion of the second time duration, a signal on the channel, wherein the first time duration and the second time duration are based on a SL PPPP for a SL communication.

Claims (49)

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

transmitting, to a base station, a request for on demand system information (ODSI);

setting a first field associated with a system information block (SIB) in response to transmitting the request for the ODSI, wherein the SIB is requested by the UE to be received;

receiving, from the base station, a UE information request message requesting an ODSI report from the UE;

transmitting, to the base station, a UE information response message including the first field in response to receiving the UE information request message and the ODSI report requested from the base station; and

acquiring the ODSI from the base station, wherein the acquiring indicates a successful request for the ODSI and wherein the UE information response message includes a second field associated with the successful request for the ODSI.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first field is not set to a system information block 1 (SIB1).

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, a UE capability enquiry message; and

transmitting, to the base station, UE capability information associated with reporting a delivery of ODSI information.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the base station, a system information block 1 (SIB1) including first information for a system information broadcast status and second information for a type of the SIB that is contained in a system information (SI) message.

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

receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a request for on demand system information (ODSI);

transmitting, to the UE, a UE information request message requesting an ODSI report from the UE; and

receiving, from the UE, a UE information response message including a first field associated with a system information block (SIB) in response to transmitting the UE information request message and the ODSI report requested from the base station,

wherein the ODSI is acquired from the base station which indicates a successful request for the ODSI, and

wherein the UE information response message includes a second field associated with the successful request for the ODSI.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the first field is not set to a system information block 1 (SIB1).

7 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, a UE capability enquiry message; and

receiving, from the UE, UE capability information associated with reporting a delivery of ODSI information.

8 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

transmitting, to the UE, a system information block 1 (SIB 1 ) including first information for a system information broadcast status and second information for a type of the SIB that is contained in a system information (SI) message.

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

a transceiver configured to transmit, to a base station, a request for on demand system information (ODSI); and

a processor operably coupled to the transceiver, the processor configured to set a first field associated with a system information block (SIB) in response to transmitting result of the request for the ODSI, wherein the SIB is requested by the UE to be received;

wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

receive, from the base station, a UE information request message requesting an ODSI report from the UE;

transmit, to the base station, a UE information response message including the first field in response to receiving the UE information request message and the ODSI report requested from the base station;

acquire the ODSI from the base station, which indicates a successful request for the ODSI, wherein the UE information response message includes a second field associated with the successful request for the ODSI.

10 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the first field is not set to a system information block 1 (SIB1).

11 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

receive, from the base station, a UE capability enquiry message, and

transmit, to the base station, UE capability information associated with reporting a delivery of ODSI information.

12 . The UE of claim 9 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to receive, from the base station, a system information block 1 (SIB 1 ) including first information for a system information broadcast status and second information for a type of the SIB that is contained in a system information (SI) message.

13 . A base station in a wireless communication system, the base station comprising:

a processor; and

a transceiver operably coupled to the processor, the transceiver configured to:

receive, from a user equipment (UE), a request for on demand system information (ODSI),

transmit, to the UE, a UE information request message requesting an ODSI report from the UE, and

receive, from the UE, a UE information response message including a first field associated with a system information block (SIB) in response to transmitting the UE information request message and the ODSI report requested from the base station,

wherein the ODSI is acquired from the base station which indicates a successful request for the ODSI, and

wherein the UE information response message includes a second field associated with the successful request for the ODSI.

14 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein the first field is not set to a system information block 1 (SIB1).

15 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to:

transmit, to the UE, a UE capability enquiry message; and

receive, from the UE, a UE capability information associated with reporting a delivery of ODSI information.

16 . The base station of claim 13 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to transmit, to the UE, a system information block 1 (SIB1) including first information for a system information broadcast status and second information for a type of the SIB that is contained in a system information (SI) message.
