CONTROL MECHANISMS FOR UPLINK CHANNEL ACCESS TYPES: abstract simplified (18166395)

In this abstract, the focus is on methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications. It describes a control mechanism where a user equipment (UE) and a network entity work together to determine if an upgrade from one channel access type to another is available for an uplink transmission from the UE to the network entity. The network entity configures the UE with a set of channel access types, and the UE determines if the second channel access type is present in the set. If it is, the UE can upgrade from the first channel access type to the second channel access type.
