CONTIGUOUS CONFIGURED AND GRANT-BASED UL TRANSMISSIONS ON NR-U SYSTEMS

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for a user equipment (UE) for a wireless communication system operating in a licensed spectrum and an unlicensed spectrum. The UE performs a listen before transmission (LBT) procedure to acquire a channel for an uplink (UL) transmission upon determination that a first LBT priority class of a first order of UL transmission is not less than a second LBT priority class of a second order of UL transmission, and a maximum channel occupancy time (MCOT) corresponding to the first order of UL transmission is at least a total length of the UL transmission comprising a first length of the first order of uplink (UL) transmission and a second length of the second order of UL transmission. In response to acquiring the channel, the UE performs the first order of UL transmission, followed by the second order of UL transmission.
