Abstract: Some communication systems enable a user equipment (UE) to have different timelines depending on a category of the UE. One goal of the present method and apparatus is to improve channel utilization by reducing uplink transmission delays (or latency) for a UE in the unlicensed spectrum by not having to rely on a base station to have access to the wireless medium in order to assign a grant to the UE. The UE can transmit on an autonomous uplink (AUL) without having received an uplink grant. When a UE sends AUL traffic during a UE indicated timeline, the base station can indicate a reduced uplink physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) processing timeline to the UE. The base station may further configure downlink feedback information (DFI) or downlink control information (DCI) monitoring opportunities for the UE. The UE may indicate the preferred AUL processing timeline.
