Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a wireless communication device (WCD) may communicate, during a channel occupancy time (COT) associated with one or more resources, via a no listen before talk (no-LBT) channel access mode. The WCD may initiate, after the COT, a reduced COT associated with the one or more resources, wherein the WCD is configured to reduce channel occupancy during the reduced COT. Numerous other aspects are described.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication performed by a wireless communication device (WCD), comprising:
- configuring the WCD based at least in part on configuration information associated with a reduced channel occupancy time (COT);
- communicating, during a COT associated with one or more resources and based at least in part on configuring the WCD, via a no listen before talk (no-LBT) channel access mode;
- and
- initiating, after the COT and based at least in part on detecting a gap in reception or transmission of communications, the reduced COT associated with the gap and the one or more resources, wherein the WCD is configured to reduce channel occupancy during the reduced COT.
A wireless communication device (WCD), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
- configure the WCD based at least in part on configuration information associated with a reduced channel occupancy time (COT);
- communicate, during a COT associated with one or more resources and based at least in part on configuring the WCD, via a no listen before talk (no-LBT) channel access mode;
- and
- initiate, after the COT and based at least in part on detecting a gap in reception or transmission of communications, the reduced COT associated with the gap and the one or more resources, wherein the WCD is configured to reduce channel occupancy during the reduced COT.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless communication device (WCD), cause the WCD to:
- configure the WCD based at least in part on configuration information associated with a reduced channel occupancy time (COT);
- communicate, during a COT associated with one or more resources and based at least in part on figuring the WCD, via a no listen before talk (no-LBT) channel access mode;
- and
- initiate, after the COT and based at least in part on detect a gap in reception or transmission of communications, the reduced COT associated with the gap and the one or more resources, wherein the WCD is configured to reduce channel occupancy during the reduced COT.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for configuring the apparatus based at least in part on configuration information associated with a reduced channel occupancy time (COT);
- means for communicating, during a COT associated with one or more resources and based at least in part on configuring the apparatus, via a no listen before talk (no-LBT) channel access mode;
- and
- means for initiating, after the COT and based at least in part on detecting a gap in reception or transmission of communications, a reduced COT associated with the gap and the one or more resources, wherein the apparatus is configured to reduce channel occupancy during the reduced COT.
