Abstract
A method of radio communicating between a radio device and a network node of a radio access network, RAN, using a temporal radio resource associated with a channel occupancy time, COT. The method is performed by the radio device or initiated by the radio device by at least one of: determining if a first COT is initiated by the radio device; determining if a second COT is initiated by the network node; and radio communicating with the network node in the temporal radio resource associated with the first COT or the second COT depending on the determinations, wherein determinations are based on information in a DCI message.

A method of radio communicating between a radio device and a network node of a radio access network (RAN) using a temporal radio resource associated with a channel occupancy time (COT) the method performed by the radio device comprising or initiating at least one of the steps of:
- determining if a first COT is initiated by the radio device;
- determining if a second COT is initiated by the network node;
- and
- radio communicating with the network node in the temporal radio resource associated with the first COT or the second COT depending on the determinations, the radio communicating comprising:
- the radio device receiving in the temporal radio resource associated with the first COT if the second COT is initiated by the network node;
- and
- the radio device transmitting in the temporal radio resource associated with the second COT if the first COT is initiated by the radio device.
