Scheduling multiple subframes in unlicensed spectrum

A user equipment (UE) operable to transmit uplink data in unlicensed spectrum, the UE comprising a memory coupled to processing circuitry, the processing circuitry operable to:

• receive, from a network node, downlink control information, DCI, comprising an indication of one or more subframes to use for transmitting the uplink data, each subframe comprising a plurality of symbols;
• obtain an indication of a listen-before-talk (LBT) type, the LBT type indicating a type of LBT procedure that the UE should perform before transmitting the uplink data;
• determine, using the obtained LBT type, at least one of a starting symbol and a stopping symbol for transmitting the uplink data;
• and
• transmit the uplink data according to at least one of the determined starting symbol and the determined stopping symbol;
• wherein:
• the LBT type indicates an LBT procedure with full random backoff or a short clear channel assessment (CCA) procedure;
• and
• the stopping symbol comprises a next to last symbol of the plurality of symbols of a last subframe indicated by the DCI.
