Remaining channel occupancy time indications

Abstract:

A base station may generate a channel occupancy time (COT) indication for a user equipment (UE), the COT indication including a bit configuration and a quantized remaining COT duration, and transmit the COT indication to the UE. The quantized remaining COT duration may be a COT floor or a lower quantization level, or to a COT ceiling or a higher quantization level, in which generating the COT indication for the UE may include using a slot format indicator to cancel a radio resource control configured uplink or downlink transmission between a COT duration and the COT ceiling or higher quantization level. UE methods include receiving a COT indication of a bit configuration and a quantized remaining COT duration, and communicating with the base station based on the COT indication. The UE may monitor a physical downlink control channel for uplink and downlink transmissions based on the quantized remaining COT duration.
