Transmission occasion determination in sub-band full duplex operation

A network device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the network device at least to:
• transmit, to a terminal device, scheduling information indicative of a transmission occasion (TO) spanning across at least one sub-band full duplex (SBFD) symbol and at least one non-SBFD symbol in a slot;
• based on determining that the TO is valid, select time-domain resources for at least one portion of the TO such that the at least one portion does not span across the at least one SBFD symbol and at least one non-SBFD symbol;
• and
• receive data on the at least one portion of the TO according to the selection.
