Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, methods and computer readable storage media for contention window size (CWS) adjustment feedback. The first device comprises at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program codes; the at least one memory and the computer program codes are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the device at least to receive at least one transport block from a second device on a predetermined bandwidth part for a transmission from the second device to the first device, the at least one transport block transmitted in a set of subbands of the predetermined bandwidth part; generate a feedback based on a set of reception states of the at least one transport block in the set of subbands; and transmit the feedback to the second device so that the second device adjusts a contention window size (CWS) for a further transmission from the second device to the first device. In this way, a feedback corresponding to interference conditions with a certain subband may be provided for the CWS adjustment and the signalling overhead is significantly reduced.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of retransmission mechanism for configured grant uplink transmission. The method comprising transmitting, to a second device, a transport block while starting a configured grant retransmission timer for autonomous retransmission of the transport block; in response to receiving, from the second device, a feedback indicating unsuccessful reception of the transport block, adjusting expiry time of the configured grant retransmission timer without starting the autonomous retransmission of the transport block; determining whether scheduling information for retransmission of the transport block is received before the adjusted configured grant retransmission timer expires; and in response to determining that the scheduling information is received, retransmitting the transport block while stopping the configured grant retransmission timer. In this way, the retransmission in the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request process could be performed according to the uplink grant scheduled by the network device and therefore the retransmission efficiency for configured grant uplink transmission in unlicensed spectrum can be improved.
