SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL BASED UPLINK TO DOWNLINK CHANNEL OCCUPANCY TIME SHARING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18043255 Titled 'SOUNDING REFERENCE SIGNAL BASED UPLINK TO DOWNLINK CHANNEL OCCUPANCY TIME SHARING'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a wireless communication system where a user device receives a signal from a base station that instructs it to assess the availability of a channel. Based on this assessment, the user device transmits a signal to the base station, which then determines the occupancy time of the channel. The abstract mentions that there are other aspects of the system that are not specified.

Original Abstract Submitted

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a grant including information for triggering a clear channel assessment based sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission. The UE may perform the clear channel assessment for a channel based at least in part on receiving the grant. The UE may transmit, to the base station, the SRS that initiates a shared channel occupancy time (COT) on the channel based at least in part on performing the clear channel assessment. Numerous other aspects are provided.
