    Abstract: Provided herein are method and apparatus for cross retransmission between Grant-less Uplink transmission (GUL) and Scheduled Uplink transmission (SUL). An embodiment provides an apparatus for a user equipment (UE) comprising baseband circuitry including one or more processors to: encode an uplink (UL) transmission data for transmission to an evolved Node B (eNB) on an un-licensed spectrum; determine a mode of re-transmission for the UL transmission as a scheduled mode in which the re-transmission is based on a re-transmission grant derived from downlink control information (DCI) received from the eNB or a grant-less mode in which the re-transmission is performed without the re-transmission grant from the eNB; and encode the re-transmission of the UL transmission based on the determined mode. Also provided is hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) feedback for GUL and SUL. At least some embodiments allow for maximum channel occupancy time (MCOT) sharing.
