Abstract
Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may determine a contention slot in which to initiate a listen-before-talk (LBT) procedure based at least in part on a start time associated with a fixed frame period configured for the UE in a frame based equipment mode. The UE may initiate the LBT procedure in the contention slot to acquire a channel occupancy time in an unlicensed channel. Numerous other aspects are provided.
Claims21
(canceled)
A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- determining a slot in which to initiate channel access procedure based at least in part on a start time associated with a fixed frame period (FFP) configured for the UE in a frame based equipment (FBE) mode, wherein the start time associated with the FFP is aligned with a first symbol in which an uplink transmission is scheduled for the UE;
- and
- performing the channel access procedure in the slot to initiate a channel occupancy time (COT) in an unlicensed channel.
A user equipment (UE), comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to cause the UE to:
- determine a slot in which to initiate a channel access procedure based at least in part on a start time associated with a fixed frame period (FFP) configured for the UE in a frame based equipment (FBE) mode, wherein the start time associated with the FFP is aligned with a first symbol in which an uplink transmission is scheduled for the UE;
- and
- perform the channel access procedure in the slot to initiate a channel occupancy time (COT) in an unlicensed channel.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to:
- determine a slot in which to initiate a channel access procedure based at least in part on a start time associated with a fixed frame period (FFP) configured for the UE in a frame based equipment (FBE) mode, wherein the start time associated with the FFP is aligned with a first symbol in which an uplink transmission is scheduled for the UE;
- and
- perform the channel access procedure in the slot to initiate a channel occupancy time (COT) in an unlicensed channel.
