    摘要: A method for dynamically dividing or consolidating sub-bands in-between Clear Channel Assessment (CCA) status measurements upon detection of a CCA bandwidth adjustment condition is provided. The method includes determining at least a single CCA status for at least a single sub-band during a first period, and detecting a CCA bandwidth adjustment condition for dividing the single sub-band into two or more separate sub-bands, where a combination of the two or more separate sub-bands occupies the same frequency band as the single sub-band. The method also includes determining a separate CCA status for each of the two or more separate sub-bands during a second period. An apparatus for performing this method is also provided.

    摘要: A user equipment (UE) may transmit a configured-grant uplink control information (CG-UCI) to a base station during a channel occupancy time (COT) initiated by the UE in a shared spectrum, the CG-UCI comprising COT sharing information, the COT sharing information indicating, at least, an index value corresponding to a combination of: an indication of an offset to a beginning of a downlink transmission opportunity during the COT; an indication of a duration of the downlink transmission opportunity during the COT; and an indication of a channel access priority class (CAPC) value used by the UE to initiate the COT. The base station may transmit a downlink transmission to the UE within the downlink transmission opportunity and in accordance with the COT sharing information in the transmitted CG-UCI. Apparatuses are also disclosed.

    摘要: The disclosed systems and methods for wireless communication directed are towards (i) encoding data bits to be transmitted over a multiple resource unit (MRU) in a wireless local area network (WLAN), (ii) creating a group of the encoded data bits based on a predetermined criterion, (iii) parsing the encoded bits in the group based on a proportional ratio associated with the MRU, (iv) modulating the parsed encoded data bits to generate modulated encoded data symbols, (v) mapping the modulated encoded data symbols to data subcarriers to generate encoded data subcarriers, the data subcarriers being associated with respective resource units (RUs) of the MRU, (vi) duplicating the encoded data subcarriers within the respective RUs, (vii) shuffling the duplicate encoded data subcarriers across the respective RUs of the MRU, and (viii) transmitting the encoded data subcarriers, and the duplicate encoded data subcarriers over the MRU in the WLAN.

    摘要: Aspects of the present application provide for flexibility in configuring channel access occasions for uplink transmissions within a configured grant transmission resource duration. The uplink transmission may be transmitted in the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The configured grant transmission resource duration includes multiple orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) symbols. In some implementations, resources for uplink transmissions are allocated such that an integer number of equally sized mini-slots, each of which is considered a separate PUSCH, fit within the slot. This occurs when the number of OFDM symbols within the slot is evenly divisible by the number of OFDM symbols in the mini-slot. In some embodiments, not all of the mini-slots in the slot are equal in size. This occurs when the number of OFDM symbols within the slot is not evenly divisible by a particular mini-slot size.
