STARTING OFFSET FOR NEW RADIO-UNLICENSED (NR-U) UPLINK TRANSMISSION

Abstract:

Wireless communications systems and methods related to signaling transmission starting offsets for uplink transmissions in a frequency spectrum shared by multiple network operating entities are provided. A first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device, a cyclic prefix (CP) extension length configuration for providing a gap duration for a listen-before-talk (LBT) associated with a first communication signal. The first wireless communication device communicates, with the second wireless communication device, the first communication signal including a CP extension having a length based on the CP extension length configuration.
