One method includes initiating, at a user equipment (“UE”), a channel occupancy time (“COT”) by transmitting a first configured grant uplink (“UL”) transmission. The method includes including a first CG-UCI in the first configured grant UL transmission. The first CG-UCI indicates a first offset, a first duration, or a combination thereof. The method includes determining a first downlink (“DL”) transmission starting time based on the first offset, the first duration, or the combination thereof and a time that the first CG-UCI is sent. The method includes determining whether a delay budget for an UL application data unit (“ADU”), packet, or a combination thereof is less than a threshold value. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A user equipment (UE), comprising: at least one memory; and at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE 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;
