  • Patent number: 12250723
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for signaling unused channel occupancy time (COT) to the gNB for COT sharing among other UEs. Upon determining that a portion of the maximum COT (MCOT) provided to the UE will be unused, the UE can generate COT sharing information for transmission back to the gNB. The COT sharing information identifies a starting point and a duration (e.g., a number of consecutive slots) of the unused portion of the MCOT. This information is then encoded into configured grant uplink control information (UG-UCI) and transmitted to the gNB as part of the uplink transmission. In aspects, the unused portion may begin part-way through a slot. In this instance, a starting symbol of the unused portion or an ending symbol of the used portion may also be encoded into the uplink transmission. In this manner, unused COT is not wasted, but rather repurposed by the gNB.
