On ue's transmission configured with multiple channel occupancy time access

Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed that relate to transmission by a radio node having an opportunity to use any of multiple Channel Occupancy Times (COTs). In one embodiment, a method performed by a radio node comprises determining, for a particular transmission, that the radio node has an opportunity to use either of two COTs consisting of a base station initiated COT and a wireless device initiated COT. The method further comprises, responsive to determining that the radio node has an opportunity to use either of the two COTs, selecting) a particular COT from among the two COTs to be used for the particular transmission. The method further comprises determining that an idle period associated to the particular COT is a valid idle period in which no transmissions to or from the radio node are to occur.
