For a UL signal transmission in an unlicensed band, the BS may transmit information about a UL transmission period to the UE by signaling.
For a UL signal transmission in the unlicensed band, the UE performs a contention-based CAP. For example, the UE may perform a Type 1 CAP or a Type 2 CAP for UL signal transmission in the U-band. In general, the UE may perform a CAP configured/indicated by the BS (e.g., Type 1 CAP or Type 2 CAP) for the UL signal transmission.
