US 11,310,813 B2 · Maximum channel occupancy time sharing and co-existence

Abstract

Described is an apparatus of an Evolved Node-B (eNB) operable to communicate with a User Equipment (UE) on a wireless network. The apparatus may comprise a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may be operable to process one or more configuration transmissions from the eNB carrying one or more parameters for Grantless Uplink (GUL) transmission. The second circuitry may be operable to determine one or more GUL subframes of an acquired Maximum Channel Occupancy Time (MCOT) on time-domain resources allocated for GUL transmission from the UE. The third circuitry may be operable to generate a GUL transmission during the one or more GUL subframes of the acquired MCOT in accordance with the one or more parameters for GUL transmission.
