  • Publication number: 20240107579
    Abstract: Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may communicate with multiple transmit receive points (TRPs) in a frame based equipment mode. A wireless node (e.g., the UE and/or one or more of the multiple TRPs) may determine, among the UE and the multiple TRPs, an initiating node that acquired a current channel occupancy time. The wireless node may determine a transmission pattern that includes one or more idle periods based at least in part on a fixed frame period structure associated with the initiating node that acquired the current channel occupancy time. The wireless node may refrain from transmitting during the one or more idle periods, wherein the one or more idle periods include at least an idle period associated with the wireless node. Numerous other aspects are described.

  • Publication number: 20230413342
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, related to transmissions during an idle period of a fixed frame period (FFP). For example, a UE can receive, via system information or radio resource control (RRC) signaling, a FFP defining an idle period. The UE can further determine that a physical random access channel (PRACH) occasion (RO) resource or a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) occasion (PO) resource overlaps with the idle period of the FFP. The UE can additionally map the RO resource to the PO resource based on determining that the RO resource or the PO resource overlaps with the idle period of the FFP, and perform a random access channel (RACH) procedure according at least to the mapping of the RO to the PO.
