Radio resource control and downlink control information signaling for listen-before-talk type

Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, an indication associated with performing listen-before-talk relative to a channel occupancy time (COT). Accordingly, the UE may transmit, to the base station, an uplink communication, where the uplink communication is transmitted using a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure based at least in part on the indication. For example, the LBT procedure may be selected from a category 1 (Cat1) LBT procedure, a category 2 (Cat2) LBT procedure, or a category 3 (Cat3) LBT procedure based at least in part on the indication (e.g., included in a radio resource control message). The LBT procedure may be further based at least in part on downlink control information from the base station. Numerous other aspects are described.
