Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 6:
7. A system, comprising:
a device configured to:
receive a set of reference signals (RSs) and a control channel message, the control channel message notifying a slot format, a channel occupancy time (COT) duration, an available resource block set, and search space group switching, per a beam direction or a transmission state indicator (TCI) state, for signal transmission and reception by the device,
receive the set of RSs in which each RS corresponds to a beam direction,
decode the control channel message to obtain a list of beam specific COT information for one or more slots, each beam specific COT information including a channel occupancy time (COT) duration indicator for each of the slots,
determine, based on the beam-specific COT information list, whether each RS of the set is valid, and
receive, in the beam specific COT information, scheduling information related to RS transmissions corresponding to each beam corresponding to the TCI state,

wherein validity of one or more RSs of the set of RSs is based on whether a duration of the set of RSs exceeds one or more corresponding slot durations provided by the COT duration indicator.
