A configuration based on configured grant uplink control information

A method performed by a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

• transmit a first configured grant (CG) uplink (UL) transmission, wherein the first CG UL transmission initiates a channel occupancy time (COT), wherein;
• the first CG UL transmission includes a CG uplink control information (UCI) (CG-UCI), and wherein the first CG-UCI indicates a first offset, a first duration, or a combination thereof;
• determining a first starting time for downlink (DL) transmission based on the first offset, the first duration, or the combination thereof and a time that the first CG-UCI is transmitted;
• determining whether a delay budget for an UL application data unit (ADU), packet, or a combination thereof is less than a threshold value;
• and
• determining a second starting time for DL transmission, a second duration or a combination thereof based on:
• whether the delay budget is less than the threshold value;
• the first offset, the first duration, an un-transmitted portion of the UL ADU, packet, or the combination thereof;
• or a combination thereof, wherein:
• the second starting time is different than the first starting time, the second duration is different than the first duration, or a combination thereof;
• the UE does not expect to receive DL transmission in the COT prior to the second starting time;
• and
• the UE does not expect to receive DL transmission in the COT for a duration larger than the second duration.

A processor for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
• transmit a first configured grant (CG) uplink (UL) transmission, wherein the first CG UL transmission initiates a channel occupancy time (COT), wherein the first CG UL transmission includes a first CG uplink control information (UCI) (CG-UCI), and wherein the first CG-UCI indicates a first offset, a first duration, or a combination thereof;
• determine a first starting time for downlink (DL) transmission based on the first offset, the first duration, or the combination thereof and a time that the first CG-UCI is transmitted;
• determine whether a delay budget for an UL application data unit (ADU), packet, or a combination thereof is less than a threshold value;
• and
• determine a second starting time for DL transmission, a second duration or a combination thereof based on:
• whether the delay budget is less than the threshold value;
• the first offset, the first duration, an un-transmitted portion of the UL ADU, packet, or the combination thereof,
• or a combination thereof, wherein:
• the second starting time is different than the first starting time, the second duration is different than the first duration, or a combination thereof,
• the processor does not expect to receive DL transmission in the COT prior to the second starting time;
• and
• the processor does not expect to receive DL transmission in the COT for a duration larger than the second duration.
